Additional Notes

  • The Toyota Highlander XU70's automatic transaxle capacities are listed as dry fill figures for the 3.5 V6 24V configurations, meaning the values of 7.6 liters (2WD) and 7.58 liters (4WD) represent a full overhaul fill rather than a routine service top-up.
  • The 2.4 AWD transaxle carries a capacity of 7.1 liters, which sits below both V6 dry fill figures, reflecting a physically smaller transmission unit paired with the four-cylinder engine.
  • The 3.5 V6 24V 2WD and 4WD configurations share the same check interval of 30,000 miles or 36 months under both normal and severe use conditions, while the 2.4 AWD is checked at 10,000 miles or 12 months regardless of use condition.
  • Under severe use conditions, all three configurations — the 2.4 AWD, the 3.5 V6 24V 2WD, and the 3.5 V6 24V 4WD — share an identical fluid change interval of 60,000 miles or 72 months.
  • The 3.5 V6 24V 2WD and 4WD variants carry no fluid change interval under normal use conditions, with only a check interval specified at 30,000 miles or 36 months for those rows.
  • The 2.4 AWD configuration similarly carries no change interval under normal use, with only the 10,000-mile or 12-month check interval listed for that condition.
  • The 3.5 V6 24V 4WD dry fill capacity of 7.58 liters is marginally lower than the 2WD figure of 7.6 liters, a difference of 0.02 liters that likely reflects minor internal volume variation between the two drivetrain variants.
  • The 3.5 V6 24V configurations appear across two overlapping year ranges — 2019-2021 and 2021-2022 — with identical capacity and interval specifications in both ranges for each respective drivetrain layout.
