TO 110,000. 2014 Toyota Highlander Maintenance

In this informational article, we will look at maintenance on a 2014 Toyota Highlander with 70,000 miles. We hope this information will be useful to you.

Before carrying out maintenance, especially in winter, the car body is subjected to a technological wash. Before carrying out any repairs or maintenance, the steering wheel and seats of the car are covered with a special film. Despite the fact that the car is driven into the workshop by the foreman - the inspector and the mechanic does not get behind the wheel - nevertheless, this is one of the standards of our company.

Diagnostics of the chassis without any complaints. After 7000 km, the owner needs to replace the brake pads on the front axle of the car. Toyota Highlander front axle stabilizer bushings require replacement. Based on the analysis of their condition, we can conclude that this is their first replacement on this car. The owner will not hear any extraneous knocks or creaks when the stabilizer bushings wear out. Diagnosis of stabilizer bushings is carried out on a car, where a certain load is created on the unit and the operation of the bushing is visible. With such a malfunction, you can continue to drive, only dirt and sand penetrating inside the bushing will lead to wear of the stabilizer itself, which costs much more than “penny” bushings. Therefore, pay due attention to the condition of such parts during maintenance.

The process of changing the oil in the engine of a Toyota Highlander. After draining the oil from the engine, remove the oil filter housing and dispose of the filter element. Before installing a new filter, wash the housing.

Fill in engine oil and check its level using a mechanical dipstick.

The process of replacing the engine air filter. A “dirty” filter not only negatively affects acceleration dynamics, but also leads to increased fuel consumption. There is no point in blowing it out with compressed air. It is not possible to completely clean the filter element.

Now it's time to change the oil in the automatic transmission. In addition to changing the oil, the oil filter and transmission pan gasket are replaced. Proper maintenance will significantly extend the life of your Toyota Highlander automatic transmission. This vehicle is equipped with a 6-speed U 660 F series transmission.

Draining oil from the automatic transmission pan.

The design of the car is made in such a way that to dismantle the automatic transmission pan of the U 660 F series it is necessary to “hang” the unit by unscrewing the retaining support located on the front suspension subframe. The photo shows this process and also shows the removal of the automatic transmission oil filter. We wash off the remaining old oil from the valve body using a special cleaner.

The photo shows a new automatic transmission oil filter U660F for a Toyota Highlander and its installation.

The magnets located on the automatic transmission pan, as well as the pan itself, must be washed from wear products and old oil residues. A visual photograph of how it was and how it became.

Having installed the automatic transmission pan, fill in WS oil using a special installation.

After this, you need to set the oil level in the gearbox. To do this, start the engine, warm up the automatic transmission to the temperature according to the manufacturer’s technical documentation and drain the excess.

The process of setting the oil level. “Overfilling” of oil can lead to incorrect operation of the mechanism.

We already mentioned the front axle stabilizer bushings at the very beginning of the article. The replacement process and comparative photographs of parts are shown. Apply copper grease to the bolts holding the bushing.

Comparative photo of the cabin filter. And the replacement process itself. The cabin filter is installed inside the glove box or, in simple words, the “glove compartment”.

After working on the car, use a cleaner to wash the automatic transmission pan and install engine protection.

This was the next 110,000 maintenance of a Toyota Highlander. Until next time.
