#4164 of 4696 How reset service reminder and oil capacity by forthill Oct 04, 2007 (11:28 am)
I want to do the 10k service on my 2006 3.3L Highlander myself as it is only really the oil, oil filter, and tire rotation. Supposedly there is a means for the owner to reset the service reminder light such as hold down the tripometer button and turn the key to the on position and hold till light goes out, then start engine.   Anyone know if this is how to really reset the light? Also, what is the oil capacity and recommended viscosity for my 3.3L engine (I don't have my manual here with me).   Thanks!

Replying to: forthill (Oct 04, 2007 11:28 am) More power to the do-it-yourselfers. The following is from the 2007 manual which I believe will cover 2006.   Reminder Reset.   1. Turn the ignition key to the "LOCK" position with the odometer reading shown.   2. Turn the ignition key to the "ON" position while holding down the trip meter reset knob.   Hold down the knob for at least 5 seconds. The odometer indicates "000000" and the light goes off.   Oil capacity and viscosity for 3.3 V6.   With filter 5 qt. 5w-30.   Hope this helps.

#4166 of 4696 Highlander 4x4 Wheel Alignment by byumgr Oct 06, 2007 (2:35 pm)
I have a 2005 Toyota Highlander Limited 4WD with 38,200 miles. I have kept up with the prescribed maintenance. My question is, when is it or how often is it recommended to have 4x4 wheel alignment done? It is running fine and is not pulling to anyone side but I just want to get an idea of proper preventive maintenance on this issue. Thanks, Mike.
#4168 of 4696 Which coolant can be used ? by ch1133 Oct 13, 2007 (10:40 am)
2003 Highlaner 4 cyl 2 WD   Seems that getting the right cooland can be very confusing if not purchased at dealer. Pep Boys has only EG coolant listed and it is green, original in my car is red. Autozone recommennded some green coolant also, dont remember the name. Purchased Prestone All ( for all cars)at Schucks but on the label it has several other addedives besides ethylene glycol listed   If anyone did research on coolant please share info before I put the Prestone All and maybe regret it...thatnks Replies to this message: electricdesign (Oct 19, 2007 9:28 am)

Replying to: ch1133 (Oct 13, 2007 10:40 am) Please spell check your documents.   Never mix the red and green coolants.   Buy and use ONLY the correct coolant recommended for the vehicle. If you are not sure, check your owners manual or check at the dealer, or buy from the dealer.   Good Luck, E.D. ISF
#4170 of 4696 2004 Highlander 6 Cycl AWS - oil filter location by bobby11 Oct 21, 2007 (12:07 pm)
Hello everyone, I just purchased a used 2004 Highlander. I know very little about this vehicle and where certain engine component parts are located. I will be purchasing a manual soon if I can find one. As idiotic as this sounds..I CAN'T find where the OIL FILTER is on this vehicle. Can someone please tell me where it is? I simply want to change the oil & filter. Also, a suggestion as to what type of oil wrench is needed to remove the filter would also be appreciated. I'm also wondering if I can use a type of oil other than the Toyota brand.   Thanks Replies to this message: mikefm58 (Oct 22, 2007 4:48 am) desertguy (Oct 22, 2007 7:03 am)

Replying to: bobby11 (Oct 21, 2007 12:07 pm) Dude, not trying to be mean here, but if you can't find the oil filter, don't know that any oil filter wrench will work, and question whether only "toyota" oil would work, then I wouldn't recommend doing your own oil changes.

Replying to: bobby11 (Oct 21, 2007 12:07 pm) You have to get under the HL to see the oil filter. Easy with the added hight of the SUV. Get the correct filter for your vehicle, either from Toyota Parts or auto parts store and match it up to the proper end cap wrench. You don't have to use Toyota oil. Just look at the oil filler cap for the proper grade and SAE rating.
