If you've never changed your oil, you might want to start. Not only will it save you money, but when you become more in tune with your car and how to care for it, the more it will care for you and the longer it will last (at least that's the idea). This is an oil change for a 2011 Toyota Highlander, but it should be very similar in any 2008-2013 V6 model Highlander. Even though this is covering a Toyota Highlander, this video should give you the basic knowledge to change the oil in a multitude of different vehicles. I started working on my own vehicle after having several problems with "reputable" mechanic shops. I've been part of and heard several nightmares of people bringing their vehicles to mechanics. One company installed my brakes wrong and then went out while driving, countless stories from family members having their oil pans stripped from over-tightening, destroying engines by forgetting to put in new oil in after draining the oil (during an oil change), and even forgetting to install lug nuts and wheels falling off after driving away (fell off on a bridge)! If nothing else, learning more about your vehicle will help you know whether someone is lying to you regarding any "necessary" repairs. Enjoy and best of luck with your projects!
