Where is the Highlander engine number located?
2 Answers
The Highlander engine number is engraved on the engine block. Precautions for using car engines are as follows: 1. Avoid coasting in neutral: The engine itself has a fuel-cut function during deceleration, and coasting in neutral is actually not conducive to fuel economy. 2. Pay attention to observation during daily use. If oil is found on the ground, determine whether there is an engine oil leak and promptly communicate with the car 4S store to eliminate potential safety hazards. 3. For cars equipped with turbochargers, do not turn off the engine immediately after high-speed driving or climbing. Let it idle for 10 minutes before shutting down. Cars with turbochargers accumulate carbon deposits several times faster than naturally aspirated cars. 4. When brake fluid is mixed with or absorbs water, or when there are impurities or sediments in the brake fluid, it should be replaced or carefully filtered in time. Otherwise, it will cause insufficient braking pressure and affect braking performance.
I've been driving Toyota vehicles for over a decade, including the Highlander. The engine number is cast on the engine block after opening the hood, usually located at the front or side, resembling an ID number. Open the hood and find a well-lit spot - you might need to clean off some dust or grease as these areas get dirty easily. I remember my older Highlander's number was on the right side of the block, and the newer models probably have it in a similar location. If you can't find it, check the vehicle's user manual or the VIN plate under the windshield, but remember the engine number is unique and more specific than the VIN for maintenance and annual inspections. During regular servicing, mechanics also check this number to ensure all components match. Knowing its location makes oil changes or troubleshooting smoother, avoiding last-minute frustrations.
