Function of Spark Plug

Spark plugs are responsible for delivering a charge to start the engine and to accelerate the car.

When is it time to change my Spark Plug?

• – Car does not start efficiently
• – Increased fuel consumption
• – Lack of acceleration

Genuine Toyota Spark Plug

• – Center electrodes are made of heat-conducting copper, allowing them to cool or heat up quickly as needed
• – High quality build materials allow a greater heat range, preventing meltdown
• – SElectrodes can handle high-speed driving efficiently

Fake/Counterfeit Product

• – Single layered elements clog easily
• – May deform and wear out quickly
• – Poor quality which may shrink due to heat and can cause engine damage

Function of Air Filters

Air filters prevent dust particles from entering the engine. When the air filter is not replaced in time it will be clogged, causing the airflow to be interrupted, resulting in poor performance.

When is it time to change my Air Filter?

• – Poor engine performance
• – Increased fuel consumption

Genuine Toyota Air Filters

• – Triple layered elements prevent clogging and last longer
• – Needle-punched to prevent deformation
• – Superior quality and sealing capability
• – Many Toyota vehicles use only Full Fabric Air Filters *FFAF) due to high recyclability

Fake/Counterfeit Product

• – Single layered elements clog easily
• – May deform and wear out quickly
• – Poor quality which may shrink due to heat and can cause engine damage

Function of Brake Pads

Brake pads allow vehicles to stop by pressing on all the wheels of the brake rotor, which rotates with the wheels. Driving with worn out brake pads can be dangerous and can cause the vehicle to veer when stopping

When is it time to change my Brake Pads?

• – Squeaking noises
• – Loss of braking power
• – Wearing out

Genuine Toyota Brake Pads

• – Special lining for balanced and stable braking in all temperatures
• – Environment friendly
• – Finely processed anti-skim shim to prevent brake noise
• – Strict quality control inspection to ensure smooth braking
• – Durable

Fake/Counterfeit Product

• – Unreliable and poor durability
• – May be made with environment damaging asbestos
• – No anti skim-shim, thus more likely to squeak
• – Low quality may cause brake failure

Function of Fuel Filters

Fuel filters remove impurities from the fuel, so that only clean fuel enters the engine. Not replacing a clogged fuel filter can result in poor performance of your vehicle.

When is it time to change my Fuel Filter?

• – Decreased engine power
• – Stalling when going uphill or overtaking

Genuine Toyota Fuel Filters

• – Designed in a honeycomb pattern, to help maintain shape and last longer
• – Polyester and glass fibres combined with standard paper filter material to enhance filtration
• – Superior rust proof treatment on internal and external surface
• – Secure fitting for cases and pipes

Fake/Counterfeit Product

• – Unreliable and poor durability
• – May be made with environment damaging asbestos
• – No anti skim-shim, thus more likely to squeak
• – Low quality may cause brake failure

Function of Clutches

Clutches transfer engine power to the transmission while reducing noise and vibration. Due to the constant transaxle friction, a clutch will gradually deteriorate.

When is it time to change my Clutches?

• – Slow acceleration
• – Vibration
• – Noise
• – Difficulty in gear engagement

Genuine Toyota Clutches

• – Clutch facing has grooves for smooth run
• – More durable and environment friendly non-asbestos glass fibre
• – Toyota Genuine Dampers absorb vibration and ensure smooth power flow and responsive acceleration

Fake/Counterfeit Product

• – Unreliable and poor durability
• – May be made with environment damaging asbestos
• – No anti skim-shim, thus more likely to squeak
• – Low quality may cause brake failure

Function of Oil Filters

Oil filters remove particles from the oil, preventing friction and engine damage. If it is not replaced in time it will be clogged, causing engine friction and damage. It may even require a complete engine overhaul.

When is it time to change my Oil Filter?

• – Reduced performance
• – Increased fuel consumption
• – Accelerated wear on engine parts
• – Periodically

Genuine Toyota Oil Filters

• – Dual textured element for effective filtration
• – Highly durable
• – Gaskets made with heat resistant, non-stick acrylic rubber
• – Check and relief valves made of durable heat resistant rubber
• – Filters carbon effectively in diesel engines
• – Relief valve can provide oil even if the filter is clogged

Fake/Counterfeit Product

• – Thin and finely meshed, so more prone to tearing and clogging
• – Frequent replacement
• – Gaskets easily deform and deteriorate, causing leaks
• – Relief valves open prematurely, thus releasing dirty oil into the engine
• – Poor carbon filtration causes black smoke emission and increased fuel consumption
• – Can damage engine

Function of Shock Absorbers

Shock Absorbers work with suspension springs to absorb shocks from the road surface to increase riding comfort and driving stability.

When is it time to change my Shock Absorbers?

• – Rougher drive than usual
• – Uncomfortable ride
• – Noise

Genuine Toyota Shock Absorbers

• – Specifically designed for Toyota vehicle, hence perfect fit
• – Teflon processed piston bands and piston rods, galvanized with hard chrome or bearings to make them more long lasting
• – Highly rust resistant due to special coatings
• – Bushings specifically made for Toyota vehicles, hence smooth drive
• – Dust cover for prevent dust penetration

Fake/Counterfeit Product

• – Fit a variety of vehicles, hence imperfect fit
• – Wear out easily and lead to rough drives
• – Rust prematurely due to poor rust resistance
• – Bushings to fit a variety of housing, hence noisy and uncomfortable drive

Function of V Belt

V-Belts transfer the engine’s rotation to the cooling fan, water pump, compressor and power steering pump. If the belt wears out, it will start to slip, and the engine’s rotation will not be sufficiently transferred to parts such as the alternator and pump. Also, the battery will not be fully charged and the air conditioning and power steering system will fail to work properly.

When is it time to change my V Belt?

• – Cracks on the belt
• – Squeaking noises
• – Expanding of Belt

Genuine Toyota V Belt

• – Rubber coated bottom layer to prevent cracking
• – Heat resistant Aramid fibre for top fabric and tension member
• – Designed specifically for Toyota vehicles

Fake/Counterfeit Product

• – Fit a variety of vehicles, hence imperfect fit
• – Simple or inferior combination results in quick wear and tear
• – Imperfect fit causing squeaks and uneven abrasion
