The amount of oil needed for your 2016 Toyota Highlander will vary depending on the engine model. If you have the 2.7L I-4 engine, you'll need 4.6 US quarts with the filter, while the upgraded 3.5L V6 engine requires 6.4 US quarts with the filter. Regardless of your engine type, it's important to use 0W-20 synthetic motor oil. If you don't have that, you can temporarily use 5W-20 but should switch back to 0W-20 at your next oil change.
