Toyota Highlander Oil Type

2024 Toyota Highlander Front Grille

Routine maintenance, including oil changes, is essential to keeping your SUV running smoothly. Knowing the correct Toyota Highlander oil type helps maintain your engine’s performance and longevity. For most models, 0W-20 synthetic oil is recommended, offering optimal protection and efficiency in all driving conditions. Whether you are driving through Akron or navigating the streets of Massillon, the service center at Toyota of North Canton is here to provide expert oil changes and ensure your vehicle gets the right care.

Conventional vs. Synthetic Oil

When you visit the Toyota of North Canton service center for a Toyota Highlander oil change, our technicians will use synthetic instead of conventional oil. So, what’s the difference?

 

  • 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 a longer period of time in between Toyota Highlander oil changes.
  • Synthetic blends combine both conventional and synthetic oils. This results in a mid-priced oil that has 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.
