The 2003 Toyota Highlander comes equipped with a 2.4 liter inline-4 engine and uses SAE 5w-30 fully synthetic motor oil. It holds about 4.2 quarts of oil. You can easily find this oil at retail locations, automotive stores, and online car parts shops, typically priced between $3 and $13 per bottle. If you have the 3.0 liter V6 engine, the oil capacity increases to 5.2 quarts of 5w-30 oil. When changing the oil, ensure the old oil is drained from the bottom nozzle of the reservoir. Then, use a funnel to add the new oil through the top cap opening.
