2005 Toyota Highlander Maintenance Schedule

Take care of your Toyota Highlander and it'll take care of you. With the right maintenance at the right time, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your Highlander. So, you want to care for your car, but you’re not sure when to get certain services. There's no need to guess when it's time to get Highlander maintenance, and no need to wait until something goes wrong. Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 2005 Toyota Highlander!

The recommended maintenance schedule is put together by Toyota, your vehicle manufacturer. Scheduled maintenance services can vary depending on driving conditions, climate, and other factors; in most cases, though, recommended maintenance will consist of services like oil changes, tire rotations, brake pad replacement, filter changes, and fluid checks and exchanges. Keeping up with routine service appointments is a great way to keep your Highlander running for longer, keep you safer on the road, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 2005 Toyota Highlander problems in the future.

Bring your 2005 Toyota Highlander to Firestone Complete Auto Care for factory-recommended maintenance services and a skilled technician will start the appointment with a Courtesy Check. This Courtesy Check can establish a baseline of what may need to be addressed during your service appointment. Every Courtesy Check will include a visual inspection of your Highlander. We’ll check your head and tail lights, fluid levels, filters, tires (and their alignment!), and windshield wiper blades. We’ll also perform a free battery check to determine your battery’s charge level.

Maybe it's time to find a new auto battery for your 2005 Toyota Highlander. Batteries generally need to be replaced every three to five years. Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your Highlander may need a replacement battery sooner. Extremely hot or cold temperatures can take a toll on your Toyota Highlander battery, and so can frequent short drives. While you could wait until your battery fails and you hear the dreaded "click," you're better off replacing it before then! Otherwise, you may find yourself (and your trusty Highlander) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Toyota Highlander won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.

In addition to maintaining a strong battery, investing in regular oil changes can support your engine’s overall performance and keep your 2005 Toyota Highlander running newer, longer. To learn how often Toyota recommends you have the oil changed in your 2005 Highlander, check out the information table at the beginning of this page. Don’t forget, though, that weather conditions in your area or your personal driving habits can affect this interval. A Firestone Complete Auto Care technician will be happy to help you determine the best oil change frequency for your car’s needs. We'll also help you understand what type of oil to use for your 2005 Toyota Highlander.

Maintaining your Toyota Highlander steering and suspension system can help you keep control of your vehicle at all times (plus, it can make for a smoother ride!). That's important if you plan on taking the road less traveled! You can count on Firestone Complete Auto Care’s trained technicians to inspect this system and, if needed, provide the appropriate Toyota Highlander steering and suspension services. This can include things like power steering fluid replacement, wheel alignment adjustments, replacement of struts and wheel bearings, and ball joint lubrication. To keep your car running at its best, it’s essential to have regular maintenance services on your Toyota Highlander's steering and suspension system.

If you fall behind on routine Toyota Highlander maintenance (or worse, don’t do it at all!), you could be feeling the heat on the road – literally!
