How often do I need to change the oil in my Toyota Highlander?

I have a Toyota Highlander and I'm wondering how often I need to change the oil. I've heard conflicting information, some say every 3,000 miles, others say up to 10,000 miles. What's the best practice?

Hi Samantha, great question! While the old rule used to be to change your oil every 3,000 miles, advancements in oil technology have made it possible to go longer between oil changes. For your Toyota Highlander, it's recommended to change the oil every 5,000-10,000 miles, depending on your driving habits. If you do a lot of city driving or frequently drive in extreme temperatures, it's best to err on the side of caution and change it more often.

Hi Samantha, you should definitely follow the recommendations in your Toyota Highlander's owner's manual. It will have the most accurate information for your specific vehicle. Generally, it's recommended to change the oil every 5,000-10,000 miles, but it's always best to check the manual to be sure.

Samantha, it's important to keep up with regular oil changes to keep your Toyota Highlander running at its best. While modern cars can go longer between oil changes, it's always best to err on the side of caution. Plus, regular oil changes are a good way to stay on top of any potential issues with your car. So, I recommend sticking to the 5,000-10,000 mile interval and never going longer than 10,000 miles without a change.
