We recommend that you check the oil and coolant levels in your vehicle daily to reduce the likelihood of mechanical breakdown. You should check the oil and coolant when the engine is cool, first thing in the morning is a good time to do this. This is a quick and easy process that will get you on the road with confidence.
Watch the videos below to learn how to check the oil in your vehicle:
If you notice the oil level is below the ‘minimum’ mark, refill 1 litre of oil, not more as you will risk overfilling. If you notice a leak or if the level of oil is decreasing quickly, contact Travellers Autobarn for assistance.
The recommended oil for your vehicle is:
- Australia: 20w50 for all models
- New Zealand: 10w40 for Toyota Hiace and 20w50 for the Toyota Estima
- USA: 5w40 for Chevrolet Express and 5w30 for the Dodge Caravans.
Watch the videos below to learn how to check the coolant in your vehicle:
If you notice the coolant level is below the ‘minimum’ mark, refill only to FULL mark, not more as you will risk overfilling. Only open the coolant container when the engine is cool, as this is a pressurised system. If you notice a leak or if the level of coolant is decreasing quickly, contact Travellers Autobarn for assistance immediately. Our contact details can be found at the bottom of this page.
If you need to refill the coolant in your vehicle, match the colour (pink or green) of the coolant already in the vehicle. Only use water if absolutely necessary.
