Frequently Asked Questions

Why is an oil change important for a 2015 Toyota Highlander Hybrid?

• Protects the 3.5L V6 hybrid engine by reducing wear and preventing contaminants from accelerating component degradation.

• Preserves towing and load-handling reliability; fresh oil helps the engine meet factory torque and towing demands up to the rated capacity.
• Supports long-term vehicle value by preventing sludge and corrosion that shorten engine life and hurt resale value.
