How to Change the Oil in a Toyota Highlander?

Model: Toyota Highlander Xu50 - Years 2014-2019
Part: Engine oil

To change the oil in your Toyota Highlander, the procedure is very simple. First, place the car on ramps to access the oil sump more easily. Using a deep container, unscrew the plug in the oil sump to allow the oil to drain out. As always, to help the flow, open the oil cap near the engine. Once the oil sump is completely drained, proceed to change the filter located under the car near the sump. After replacing the filter, and optionally the plug and gasket of the sump, add new oil following the specifications in the manual to avoid mistakes.
