What is the Toyota Highlander’s oil type?

I’m starting my senior year of high school this fall and I need to save up money for college. I’d like to start doing my own oil changes. What do I need for my Highlander?

Congrats on your impending graduation! Changing your own oil is a simple way to save money and keep your car in tip-top shape. The
Toyota Highlander’s
oil type is 5W-20 fully synthetic motor oil.
That may seem like a long name for a jug of oil, but every part tells you a little something about the oil’s performance:
  • 5W-20 means that the oil will flow freely at high and low temperatures
  • Synthetic means that oil contains artificially produced compounds—so there are fewer impurities and won’t damage your engine
Your local auto shop should have plenty of 5W-20 fully synthetic motor oil in stock. Popular brands include Olio, Valvoline, and Castrol.
College is expensive and you need to find creative ways to save money. That’s why you should use
