Toyota Genuine Parts

Oil & Filters

• Purpose: Engine oil provides lubrication between moving parts, helps manage heat, reduces friction, and protects against corrosion. Filters (oil, engine air, cabin air, etc.) remove harmful particles, dust, and contaminants that degrade performance and fuel efficiency.
• Why Genuine: Toyota Genuine oils are formulated to Toyota’s specifications, with additives that protect metal surfaces and gaskets. Genuine filters are built to fit precisely and meet strict flow, filtration, and durability standards, unlike some non-OEM parts.

Coolants & Cleaners

Why Genuine: Products made or vetted by Toyota are designed to be compatible with all parts of the engine and cooling system—hoses, seals, water pumps, metal components. Genuine coolants resist corrosion and are safer for your engine in cold or hot Canadian conditions; cleaners are formulated to avoid damaging sensitive engine parts or coatings.

Purpose: Coolants (antifreeze) regulate engine temperature, prevent overheating, protect against freezing, and help reduce corrosion inside cooling systems. Cleaners serve many roles—cleaning fuel injectors, combustion chambers, and helping maintain fuel and air systems so your engine runs efficiently and emissions stay low.

Batteries & Belts

Why Genuine: Toyota batteries are matched to the power and cranking requirements of each model. Genuine belts are designed to handle tension, heat, and wear specific to Toyota engines; using non-OEM belts can risk vibration, slipping, or early failure.

Purpose: The battery powers the vehicle’s electrical systems and ensures reliable starts—especially in cold weather. Belts (timing belts, accessory belts, serpentine belts) drive components like the alternator, air conditioning, power steering, and ensure engine timing stays correct.

Brakes

Why Genuine: Genuine brake components are designed for exact fit, consistency in materials, and tested under conditions Toyota expects for your vehicle. This means you get reliable stopping performance, proper wear behavior, and better response under varied conditions (wet, cold, etc.).

Purpose: Brake pads, rotors, drums, and related components are essential for stopping power and safety. They convert motion into the heat, slowing or stopping the vehicle. Brake systems also include wear sensors, calipers, and associated hardware.

Windshield Components

Why Genuine: OEM glass fits precisely, reducing leaks, wind noise, or distortion. Genuine wiper blades are designed to match curvature and pressure points, giving even, streak-free wiping, which is especially important in harsh weather.

Purpose: Windshield glass, wiper blades, washer fluid & nozzles all contribute to visibility. Windshield glass must be strong, properly sealed, and glare-resistant in many cases; wipers sweep away moisture, snow, salt, and debris.

Tires

Why Genuine / Recommended Tires: Toyota-recommended tires are chosen with the vehicle’s weight, suspension, clearance, and performance in mind. Using tires that meet Toyota’s specs helps ensure handling, safety systems (like ABS, traction control) perform as designed.

Purpose: Tires are the vehicle’s contact patch with the road — they affect traction, handling, braking, ride comfort, fuel efficiency, and safety. Different tires (all-season, winter, summer) are needed for specific driving and climate conditions.

Fluids & Lubricants

Why Genuine: Each fluid type has specific boiling, freezing, lubrication, and viscosity requirements. Genuine Toyota fluids meet those specs, so components operate efficiently, reduce wear, and avoid damage that can occur if wrong or degraded fluids are used.

Purpose: Beyond oil and coolant, many other fluids (transmission fluid, brake fluid, power steering fluid, differential/transfer case fluids, washer fluid, etc.) are essential for smooth operation. Lubricants reduce friction in moving parts like door hinges, chassis joints, etc.
