★ Top Answer
In 2008, the recommended oil type and capacity for the Toyota Highlander is 5w-30 with 6.4 quarts. Ensuring high-quality oil is crucial for maintaining the engine's smooth operation. Issues may arise with the oil over time, potentially leading to engine problems such as knocking noises and even engine failure. A common sign of trouble is a strong burning smell, which should be promptly investigated to prevent any dangerous situations like the car catching fire. Neglecting regular oil changes (recommended every 5,000 to 10,000 miles) can result in poor gas mileage and potential engine issues.
