2016 Toyota Highlander Maintenance Schedule

When it comes to your Toyota Highlander, how you treat your car makes all the difference in its performance. If you put in the effort to keep up with proper maintenance, your Highlander could be on the road well past the 200,000 mile mark. Not an expert in what services your car needs and when? No problem. It can be overwhelming, but fortunately, there’s a resource that takes the guesswork out of routine Highlander maintenance. Just follow your 2016 Toyota Highlander maintenance schedule!

This recommended maintenance schedule is written by the auto manufacturer, Toyota themselves. Depending on driving conditions and climate in your area (as well as other contributing factors, like your personal travel habits), your car’s scheduled maintenance needs may vary; in most cases, though, recommended maintenance will consist of services like tire rotations, vital fluid checks/exchanges, filter changes, brake pad replacement, and oil changes. Scheduling routine service appointments is one of the best ways to help extend your Highlander's life, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and prevent common 2016 Toyota Highlander problems.

Bring your 2016 Toyota Highlander to Firestone Complete Auto Care for factory-recommended maintenance services and our technicians will jump right in with a Courtesy Check. A Courtesy Check helps "set the stage" for your service and catch any small problems before they turn into big repairs. During a Courtesy Check, we’ll always check your battery, then we’ll move on to inspect your Highlander’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Maybe it's time to find a new auto battery for your 2016 Toyota Highlander. If your current battery is more than three years old, it may be time for a replacement (batteries typically last somewhere between three and five years). Yours may need to be replaced sooner depending on your driving habits and climate. Taking short trips or exposing your car to extreme temperatures (like in the dead of winter or heat of summer) could reduce the life expectancy of your Toyota Highlander battery. While you could wait until your battery fails and you hear the dreaded "click," you're better off replacing it before then! Otherwise, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your Highlander stranded. 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 prevent premature wear on your 2016 Toyota Highlander engine. Reference the chart toward the top of the page if you're not sure about the optimal oil change intervals for your 2016 Highlander. Keep in mind that your oil change interval could be different given your driving style and climate. 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 2016 Toyota Highlander.

Periodic service to the steering system in your Toyota Highlander can not only ensure a smooth ride; it can also help you maintain control of your car in compromised road conditions. When it comes to steering and suspension, you want to catch small problems before they turn into big (and expensive) ones. Bring your car to Firestone Complete Auto Care, where our technicians can check your car’s steering components and, if necessary, perform Toyota Highlander suspension and steering services. These might include wheel alignment, power steering fluid flushes and replenishments, ball joint lubrication, wheel bearing replacement, and strut replacement. Components within your Toyota Highlander's steering system require regular maintenance.

Without routine Toyota Highlander maintenance, you (and your engine) could quickly lose your cool when there's a problem on the road–especially if that problem is an overheated engine or broken A/C. Don’t sweat it, though! Our technicians can take care of those issues, too. At Firestone Complete Auto Care, we have what it takes to provide top-notch service for your Toyota Highlander engine heating and cooling systems, as well as your air conditioning. Is your Toyota Highlander radiator in need of replacement? We’ve got your back. Is your A/C blowing hot air? We'll fix it.
