Ideal Toyota Highlander Maintenance Schedule

The maintenance schedule for your Toyota Highlander depends on factors like mileage and months along with model year and driving habits. As per the ideal schedule, you should get your tires rotated, fluids checked, and brakes inspected every 5,000 miles or 6 months. At 10,000 miles or 12 months, prioritize an oil change and new oil and cabin air filters to optimize engine performance and cabin comfort.

Every 15,000 miles or 18 months brings a more comprehensive inspection, including engine coolant, engine cooling system maintenance, exhaust systems, and steering components. This interval may also require another oil change if non-recommended oil was used previously. Finally, at 30,000 miles or 36 months, inspection of fuel system components and replacement of the engine air filter is recommended for maximum longevity.
