Additional Notes

  • The Toyota Grand Highlander automatic transaxle holds 7.3 liters of fluid across all listed 2.4-liter configurations, whether front-wheel drive or AWD. A capacity at this level typically reflects a full overhaul or dry fill figure rather than a partial service drain-and-fill amount.
  • The 7.3-liter capacity is consistent between the standard 2.4 and the 2.4 AWD variants, indicating the automatic transaxle unit itself is shared between the two drivetrain configurations.
  • Under normal use conditions, the specification for both the 2.4 and 2.4 AWD lists only a fluid check interval of every 10,000 miles or 12 months, with no fluid change interval assigned to normal use.
  • Under severe use conditions, the same 10,000-mile or 12-month check interval applies, and a fluid change interval of 60,000 miles or 72 months is added on top of the periodic check requirement.
  • The 72-month time limit paired with the 60,000-mile change interval under severe use means the fluid change is triggered by whichever threshold is reached first, whether mileage or time.
  • The absence of a fluid change interval under normal use conditions, combined with the presence of one under severe use, reflects a distinction in how operating stress is expected to degrade fluid quality over time.
