How much engine oil should be added to the Highlander?
2 Answers
The Highlander requires approximately 4.6 liters of engine oil. The exact amount of oil to be added should be determined based on the vehicle's instruction manual and the actual remaining oil level in the engine. The Highlander is a mid-size SUV under GAC Toyota. Taking the Highlander 2020 2.0T 4WD Million Memorial Edition as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4890 mm, width 1925 mm, height 1715 mm, with a wheelbase of 2790 mm. The Highlander 2020 2.0T 4WD Million Memorial Edition is equipped with a 2.0-liter 4-cylinder turbocharged engine, paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission.
I drive a Highlander with a 2.0T gasoline engine, and the manual specifies an oil capacity of 4.7 liters. During the actual maintenance, I watched the technician operate: after draining the old oil for half an hour, first add 4 liters, start the engine and let it circulate for two minutes before turning it off, wait three minutes, then check the oil dipstick, and finally slowly top it up to the middle of the scale. A reminder: the position of the oil filter can affect the amount used—Toyota OEM filters retain about 0.3 liters more oil, while third-party ones may hold less. After maintenance, remember to record the mileage so you'll know when it's time for the next change.
