Hi, I'm a noob, but have surfed Toyota Nation and this website to answer most of my questions. Recently bought a 2002 Highlander 2WD 4cyl with 87K on it. Light dings, clean underneath, no obvious problems. Oil and Brakes look good and are easy. Q1: According to horrible maintenance schedule (hard to read), ATF to be changed at 120K. I thought I should go ahead and have it flushed with T IV or Amsoil. Yes/No? Q2: Need to replace coolant. Any silicate free (red) okay? Q3: Is the PCV on top of the valve cover or head? Want to replace. Comments: Learned through extra research that THIS 4cyl was not prone to 'sludge' (YAY!), that the AC filter is behind the glovebox, and that the G0DDA&*^N "Drive Shaft Bolt" that needs re-torquing every 5K miles per the manual is hogwash. Q4: Did I miss anything? THANKS!

Just would like to confirm if my speedometer error is the same for all base model 2008 Highlanders. My GPS shows 66.5 mph when the speedometer reads 70 mph. The error is 2 mph when I'm traveling 30 mph. My guess is that the Sport and Limited read correctly with their larger wheels/tires. Could anyone confirm with your GPS? Is there any easy dealer fix to correct this error. I like to drive 70 on the freeway and now I have to plug in 74 mph.

Replying to: jsgb (Apr 08, 2009 7:43 pm) I usually just set the Cruise to the GPS when on long hauls. I do fear that it shows more miles than actual though. Suppose we could calculate this to be about 101.5 miles on the ODO per 100 real miles traveled. Since I keep 'em for 10ish years, I don't care much.. although I just crossed 13.3k ODO miles after about 20 months of ownership (job change, lots of rentals, etc.. long story). Maybe I'll get 15 yrs out of this one... ---seeker |

Hi everyone, i'm a new member. I was searching for a forum regarding tire sensor pressure. I bought a used 2008 highlander (not a highbrid) with 26000km on it. So far the suv is working good and i don't see any problem and i already put in 4000km. The only problem i have is about tire pressure sensor light which is showing again for the second time.The first time, i had the dealer to reset after replacing one of the sensor. Now it came back again. i'm trying to reset after pumping the 4 tire with even pressure except the spare tire which i didn't bother to pump it. Question: Do i have to pump the spare tire with even pressure to 4 tires? Question: Is it possible to disable the indicator light? Can i ask the dealer to disable it? Can someone in this forum teach me how to reset and detail instruction what is the best thing i have to do. I was always thinking ,what if my warranty finish i will always go to the dealer and pay.I don't think it is good. Please help me on this issue. Thanks in advance.. |
