Vavoline 5w30 with an OEM Filter. I'd do 5k OCI, but I don't mind changing the oil on my Tacoma. As long as you don't live where cold weather is an issue 5w30 should be fine.
Except for brand recognition which is a very important attribute for any automaker. If you don't think it matters go to California and see the multitude of Toyota vehicles that have 400+K miles and see how that influences buying habits.They do. But they don’t have a vested interest in getting your car to 300k+ miles.
It's a 2022, not a 1922.I would use the Toyota 0w-20 and a Toyota filter. Max OCI 5K or 6 months. IF you are only driving short 5-10 mile trips, I'd drop OCI
to 3K. Get enough oil for two OCI's and buy a box of filters for a better price.
This advice only applies to you if you want to keep your Highlander over 200K miles.
My man....LOLIt's a 2022, not a 1922.
All I found in Manuel was it said 0w-20.Why would advice here be better than what you find in the owner’s manual?
Which says, what exactly?
Does your 22 have 4 cyl. W/ Turbro?We just purchased a '22 Toyota Highlander FWD w/V6. I've been searching & reading up on oil recommendations. My previous experience is mostly conventional oil & flat tappet camshafts. I was surprised to see thin 0W-20 oil recommended. I've been running Valvoline VR1 20W-50 & Delo 400 with Fleetguard/Wix/Napa Gold filters in my previous vehicles. Just noticed that Wix filters are manufactured in China now.
Should I stay with Valvoline brand? I see many Highlander owners discussing the use of 5W-30. We keep our vehicles for a long time. I'm interested in the best engine wear protection available. I'm located at 5K elevation with temperatures ranging from down into the teens & up into the 100+ range. Dry & dusty environment.
Seeking advice/recommendations on brand/type of oil, viscosity, high quality filters & service intervals.
Thank you.
