Frequently Asked Questions

Why is an oil change important for a 2017 Toyota Mirai?

• The 2017 Toyota Mirai uses a hydrogen fuel cell and an electric drive, so it does not rely on a traditional internal-combustion engine oil change; however, proper lubrication and fluid maintenance for reduction gears, inverters, and related components preserves drivetrain efficiency and extends component life.
• Regular fluid inspections and service protect range, performance and safety by preventing wear, overheating, and corrosion in fuel-cell and electric-drive systems.
• Factory-trained technicians at Coggin Toyota at the Avenues know the Mirai’s unique requirements and use Toyota-approved fluids and procedures to ensure correct service every time.
• Warranty compliance: any repairs or services covered under manufacturer warranty must be performed at a certified dealership to preserve coverage and avoid unexpected expenses.
• Choosing our dealership often costs less than independent shops over time—immediate savings from service specials and long-term savings from reduced repair risk and higher resale value.

How long does a 2017 Toyota Mirai oil change take?

• Because the Mirai does not require a traditional engine oil change, a standard fluid inspection or routine service appointment typically takes 30–60 minutes.
• More involved services—such as reduction-gear lubricant replacement, coolant exchanges, or fuel-cell system checks—may take 1–2 hours depending on the scope and parts availability.
• Coggin Toyota at the Avenues schedules appointments to minimize wait time and often completes services faster thanks to stocked OEM parts and factory-trained staff.
• For warranty-covered work, timing is managed to meet manufacturer standards; warranty repairs must be completed at a certified dealership to retain coverage.
• Contact our service center or check service specials online to reserve a convenient appointment and confirm expected duration.

How often should you get an oil change?

• The 2017 Toyota Mirai does not follow a traditional oil-change schedule because it is a fuel-cell electric vehicle; instead, follow the manufacturer’s maintenance schedule for fluid inspections, coolant replacement, and system checks.
• We recommend routine service visits at regular intervals—typically during scheduled maintenance milestones—to inspect lubrication, coolant and brake fluids, cabin filters, and electrical systems that affect performance and range.
• Coggin Toyota at the Avenues will set up a tailored maintenance plan, send reminders, and advise on appropriate intervals to maximize efficiency and minimize unexpected repairs.
• Performing required maintenance at a certified dealership ensures warranty compliance and often delivers better long-term value than ad-hoc independent work.
• Contact our service team to review your Mirai’s maintenance schedule and set a plan that fits your driving habits and mileage.

What type of oil does a 2017 Toyota Mirai take?

How much oil does a 2017 Toyota Mirai need?

• The question of oil quantity is not applicable in the traditional sense for the 2017 Toyota Mirai because it lacks a conventional engine oil system.

• Coggin Toyota at the Avenues will confirm exact capacities during service and document all fills to ensure compliance with manufacturer standards and warranty terms.
