Engine Oil Dries Up Within 2 Weeks by Born2conquer: 4:50pm On Oct 15, 2020 |
I got an highlander in may(thread on my profile) the highlander runs fine!! And i love it. The only issue is that the Engine oil dries up within 2 weeks . We’ve changed different oil brands and we’ve also added treatment I really don’t know what to do again |

How many litres of engine oil do you usually pour in? |

Born2conquer: Not the right information. After draining out the old engine oil, how many litres of new engine oil do you pour in? What is the size of your engine? 4 Likes |

Born2conquer: For a Highlander, I think 4 litres is not enough. What is the capacity of the engine? |

The reliability of Toyota..... Scam! First, carry ur car go pit and go under it with flashlight. Look under ur engine and check for leaks. I don't wanna say crankshaft oil seal, but check. If no leaks, like bigkendo said, prepare to buy a new engine.. 3 Likes |

Born2conquer: Well i thought its an old car Loosing oil every two weeks is not a good sign, i can be either that there is leak somewhere or pistol oil rings are gone therefore your engine is burning oil is your engine turbo charged ? |
Re: Engine Oil Dries Up Within 2 Weeks by chukel(m): 5:28am On Oct 18, 2020 |
ZIMDRILL:is there any turbocharged highlander engine? |
Re: Engine Oil Dries Up Within 2 Weeks by chukel(m): 5:32am On Oct 18, 2020 |
Is your engine V6 or 4 cylinder. If V6, that 4 litre oil you put was grossly inadequate. V6 engine takes 6.1 liters. 4 liters will not even show on your dipstick. I wonder which mechanic you use. If V6, that 2GR-FE engine has factory error where an oil hose slips off a pipe, discharging engine oil. People corrected it by replacing the rubber hose with metal. However, i doubt its the case with yours as the oil will spill everywhere and result in engine knock if in motion. 1 Like |
