Questions About 2016 Toyota Highlander’s Transmission

  • What happens if I "ride" my Toyota's brakes? Keeping your foot on the brake pedal or lightly but consistently pushing it down can lead to transmission problems. Keep that in mind when driving in hilly terrain and remember to use engine braking when possible.
  • How much can my Toyota tow?   Think twice before volunteering to tow a moving trailer, no matter how small. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your Highlander’s towing capacity. Always consult your owner's manual before towing or hauling something.
  • When should I have my Highlander's transmission fluid checked or exchanged? Caring for your Toyota Highlander’s transmission fluid is a great way to help it perform. About every 30,000 to 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your transmission fluid inspected and perhaps changed. Service intervals can vary depending on how you use your Toyota, so check with your technician first. The good news is that transmission fluid leaks are affordable to repair and easy to spot.
  • Can my Toyota Highlander leak transmission fluid? Over time, transmission fluid can leak from your Toyota Highlander, potentially causing transmission problems.
