Oil Changes for 2014 Toyota Highlander

Looking for oil change recommendations for your 2014 Toyota Highlander? Get the advice you need at Firestone Complete Auto Care! We are experts in car care — not just tires. We know the ins and outs of motor oil, too. After all, "Oil is the blood of the engine. It's the #1 thing you can do for your car," says our maintenance technician, Brianna.

Toyota recommends changing your 2014 Highlander’s oil at regular intervals. See mileage and month specifics in the above table. No matter the mileage, your Highlander may need its oil changed ASAP if your check engine light is on, you hear knock knock knock coming from the engine, smell oil inside the vehicle, or notice an unusual amount of exhaust. You may also need an oil change more frequently than Toyota recommends if you haul heavy loads, drive in dusty areas, enjoy off-roading, or drive at low speeds for long distances. Generally, getting more frequent oil changes won’t hurt your Toyota Highlander. In fact, more frequent oil changes give our technicians more opportunities to catch and alert you to any issues, like worn brake pads or a weak battery.

Your local Firestone Complete Auto Care has the right 2014 Toyota Highlander motor oil: either synthetic or conventional. Toyota has recommendations as to whether conventional or synthetic oil is the ideal engine oil for your 2014 Highlander. This oil helps lubricate engine parts, keep the engine cool, and prevent the build-up of harmful substances within the engine. In an oil change service, an auto technician will change your Highlander’s oil, replace and recycle your used oil and filter, inspect all of your other filters, refill vital car fluids, and visually inspect the rest of the vehicle. You can rest assured knowing that we seek to do what’s best for your Highlander by considering your driving habits, and the number of miles on your odometer.
