The 2005 Toyota Highlander uses SAE 5w-30 full synthetic oil. It has a capacity of 5 quarts. Oil is important because it is a lubricant for the engine parts, it helps protect the emission system, and it can enhance fuel economy. The cost of an oil change for Your Highlander is between $40 and $50 for labor and between $100 and $110 for parts. You should get an oil change every 10,000 miles or 1 year. You will know that it is time for an oil change if You notice transmission shifting issues, increased engine noise, shaking while idling, excess vehicle exhaust, an oil smell inside the vehicle and of course if You see the Check Engine or Oil Change lights come on.
