The Toyota Highlander is a reliable SUV and more than capable of handling tough road conditions. However, how well it’s able to hold up is highly dependent on whether you keep up with regular service. Learn more about Toyota Highlander service right here.
Oil Change
The Toyota Highlander requires an oil change every 10,000 miles, or 12 months, whichever one comes first. However, you may need an oil change sooner if you drive under severe conditions. Severe driving conditions include factors like:
- Frequent stop-and-go driving
- Off-road commuting
- Driving near the vehicle’s weight capacity
- Frequent short trips under five miles
- Frequent commuting at city speeds
Tire Rotation
This model requires a tire rotation every 6,000 miles or six months. This is necessary to ensure even tire wear. Your Toyota technician will also use this occasion to assess tread wear and check for possible alignment or balance issues.
At home, drivers should perform a psi check on all four tires every 30 days. Your tire pressure should never be more than five psi below the manufacturer’s recommended number.
Filter Change
Change both the engine air and cabin air filter every 30,000 miles or 36 months. This ensures healthy engine function and that contaminants don’t circulate in the cabin interior.
As with oil changes, you may require filter changes sooner if you regularly drive under severe conditions. Every maintenance should include a filter check. If the filters are blackened or worn out, then it’s time for replacement.
