The Parts your Toyota Needs
Toyota Parts and What they Do
You purchased Toyota because of our reputation for quality - and because you have better things to do than worry about vehicle reliability and dependability. Those are the very same reasons that you should insist on Toyota Parts when it's time for routine replacement.
Genuine Toyota Parts are the only parts that have been manufactured to meet Toyota's rigorous standards of safety, appearance and durability - helping to protect you as well as the value of your investment.
To learn more about Toyota Parts, and the part you can play in keeping your Toyota in peak operating condition, please select the part listed above. You'll find out what each part does, the factors and conditions that can cause wear and tear, and when and why you should follow the maintenance guidelines for your vehicle as detailed in the Toyota Maintenance Menu.
What is it
Toyota Genuine Motor Oil (TGMO) protects the engine from energy loss, heat and wearing of contact surfaces caused by friction occurring in the engine. TGMO has five functions: lubrication, cooling, sealing, preventing corrosion and cleaning.
What does it do?
Lubrication
Motor oil forms an oil film on contact areas to reduce friction to prevent wearing, energy loss, and seizing.
Cooling
Motor oil also absorbs heat from engine parts that become hot from the heat of combustion and the heat produced by friction. The oil then helps to radiate this heat to the outside of the engine.
Sealing
Creating an oil film between the piston and cylinder seals the compressed gas and combustion gas in the combustion chamber to prevent a loss of power.
Preventing Corrosion
Motor oil protects the engine from oxygen and water present in the engine to prevent rust and corrosion.
Cleaning
Motor oil also washes away sludge, soot, and other substances that build up inside the engine to keep the engine clean.
When to Replace?
Toyota Genuine Motor Oil and filter should be replaced according to the manufacturer's required maintenance schedule.
What is it?

What do they do?
When you apply pressure to the brake pedal, the caliper clamps the brake pads against each side of the brake rotor, creating friction and slowing your vehicle down. Brake pads must create the proper amount of friction to deliver smooth stopping performance with a minimum of noise while operating under the harshest conditions.
Why service them?
Brake pads are a critical part of your braking system. Pads are designed to wear with use and the rate of wear depends on usage and loads. Constant exposure to the elements may result in rust build-up, which can cause brake dragging, pulling, pulsating and/or abnormal noise. Regular lubrication and cleaning of braking system components helps ensure proper function and reduce premature wear.
When to service?
Brake service should be performed according to the manufacturer's required maintenance schedule. This will help reduce premature wear and abnormal brake noise during brake application. If brakes drag, pull, pulsate or produce abnormal noise, see your dealer immediately.

Why All-Season Tires?
All-around good performance in a wide variety of conditions, softer construction, longer tread life and quieter ride than performance tires, the more extreme conditions become the more performance is reduced.
How do I choose tires?
Everybody has different criteria for selecting their tires. With the wide variety of possibilities available, it can be confusing. Your Toyota Dealer will be happy to assist you in finding a tire that fits your needs.
When do I replace my tires?
Over time, tire tread depth decreases as the rubber compound is worn off in daily use. As the treads wear, time performance diminished. When the depth becomes 4/32 of an inch, you should begin to think about visiting your Toyota Dealer to replace your tires.
When do I rotate my tires?
Toyota Canada recommends that tires be inspected every 6 months or 8,000 km and rotated as required. Early and regular tire rotation is one of the best ways to extend the life of your tires and enhance your vehicle's handling. Longer lasting tires translate to lower overall costs and help ensure that tread wear is even* among the four tires.
1. Tougher Bead Construction:
Helps withstand the demands of seasonal mounting and dismounting
2. Sidewall Rubber Compound:

3. Belted Tires:
Steel belts, built into the tire, provide stability to the tread area. Softer construction; longer tread life and quieter ride than performance tires
4. Advanced Tread Design:
Deep grooves designed to take water away from the tire contact patch
Why Winter Tires?
During the winter season, tires play a crucial role in the vehicles overall safety and performance.
Much too often, winter tires are portrayed as "snow tires." The truth is, winter tires are not only designed to perform in snowy conditions, but to provide optimal performance in cold weather temperatures as well.
They provide excellent ride comfort and safety, exceptional grip in cold conditions, superior braking on ice and snow, outstanding resistance against aquaplaning, superb wet and dry handling, enhanced vehicle stability control operation and smoother take-off when equipped with traction control.
Two Tires or Four?
Since the winter tires will grip much better in slippery conditions, installing them on only two wheels will disrupt your vehicle's handling. Toyota recommends that you install winter tires on all four wheels.
Who knows your Toyota best?
While many places sell winter tires, your Toyota dealer carries winter tires that are selected by Toyota Canada to offer leading edge technology at a very competitive price. For your convenience, Toyota offers 14 of Canada's top tire brands.
