Toyota Highlander Oil Type

In terms of caring for your new Toyota Highlander, oil changes and knowing the proper oil type for your vehicle are highly important. So, what is the Toyota Highlander oil type we recommend in order to bring you the best performance possible on the McComb roads? New models require Toyota Genuine full synthetic 0w-20, while older models use Toyota Genuine full synthetic 5w-30 instead. Take a look below to learn more, and be sure to contact our service center team if you have any questions about Toyota Highlander oil change frequency or Toyota Highlander oil filter needs.

Toyota Highlander Oil Type: Conventional vs. Synthetic Oil

Knowing the proper Toyota Highlander oil change frequency is one thing but knowing the correct Toyota Highlander oil type is also recommended. If you’ve owned a vehicle before, you’ve probably heard about the conventional vs. synthetic oil debate. So, what’s the difference? Take a look below to see the general description of each type:

• Conventional oil is refined from crude oil, and it was once the only motor oil formulation available. While this formula works effectively in most cars, it is less chemically refined and sophisticated than the newer synthetic formulations.
• Synthetic oil is the more modern motor oil formulation, which is more chemically stable and durable than options of the past. It resists oxidation and stays in good condition much longer than conventional oil. This means you can go longer in between Toyota Highlander oil changes.
• Synthetic blends combine both conventional and synthetic oils. This results in a mid-priced oil with some of the benefits of synthetic oil. But if your owner’s manual says your car needs synthetic oil, it’s best to go with the full synthetic formula.

When to Schedule a Toyota Highlander Oil Change

Are you ready to replace your Toyota Highlander oil filter and get your oil changed, but you aren’t sure when is the right time to do so? We recommend changing your oil every 7,500 to 10,000 miles to keep your vehicle working in peak condition.

That said, if you take part in more extreme driving conditions, like off-roading in Monticello or towing around McComb, those Toyota Highlander oil changes will need to come much sooner. If you have any questions about the exact ranges, don’t hesitate to reach out to our Brookhaven team.
