The base engine in the 2006 Toyota Highlander, the 2.4-liter one, requires 4 quarts of 5w30 synthetic oil. For the two versions of the 3.3-liter option, you will need 5 quarts of 5w30 synthetic oil. Using synthetic oil is much better for engine performance as it provides enhanced protection by reducing friction. It is safe to switch between synthetic and conventional oils without harming the engine. Synthetic blends are a combination of synthetic and conventional oil, and using synthetic oil helps to keep engines cleaner by preventing the buildup of debris and deposits from dirt and metal fragments that can cause engine damage.
The standard engine for the 2006 Toyota Highlander, which is the 2.4L inline-4, requires 4 quarts of 5W30 synthetic oil. If you opt for either of the 3.3L V6 engine variants (engine code 3MZ-FE F or 3MZ-FE G), you'll need 5 quarts of 5W30 synthetic blend oil.
