I recently purchased a Toyota Highlander and want to make sure I am using the right oil for my car. I've heard different recommendations and am confused. Can you provide some guidance on the best type of oil to use for my Highlander?
ReplyIt's important to use the type of oil recommended by Toyota for your Highlander. Usually, they recommend using synthetic oil, as it provides better protection for your engine and helps improve fuel economy. I personally use a synthetic blend in my Highlander and have been happy with the results.
While synthetic oil may cost more, it offers better engine protection and longevity. Plus, with advances in technology, synthetic oils can now provide even better performance than traditional oils. However, if you're on a budget, conventional oil can also be a good option for your Highlander.
Another important factor to consider when choosing the right oil for your Highlander is the viscosity grade. This is typically indicated by a number and letter, such as 5W-30. I would recommend consulting your Highlander's owner's manual or speaking with a certified mechanic to determine the best viscosity grade for your car based on your driving habits and climate.
