The same exact thing happened with our Highlander. That's a pretty tight spot to film. You did a very good job! Thanks for the video.

Thanks for this video. A oil cooler hose ruptured on our 2008 highlander a couple of miles from our home. Luckily, it appears my wife made it home before any damage occurred. When I drained the oil after making the repair there was only one quart of oil in the pan. I used the Toyota part and it still was a pain. Thanks again.

My 2013 has been leaking for quite a while, probably over a year. At first I thought it was burning oil but saw no signs of that in the exhaust or other fluid compositions. Then I noticed wetness around my oil pain and thought that those bolts were loose (it was just being dripped on). Finally many oil changes later, while underneath, I noticed the dirty path up to the oil cooler lines and so I found out about this issue by googling oil leaks on highlanders. It looks impossible to get to when underneath, and I hadn't had my front splash-guard off to see from that angle. So Thank You so much!! Appreciate this video very much! will be repairing mine soon.

i just took those rubber hoses off, cut to length new thicker fuel rated hoses, then wrapped them in heat tape and reinstalled. like 10min fix, hopefully lasts another 100k miles xD

Everything deteriorates, though, right? What about radiator hoses? Those are rubber and work adequately once replaced at suitable intervals.

I have a 2010 Highlander. After seeing videos like these, I thought I'd take a look to see if mine had the rubber hose or a metal one. However, I can't find it for the life of me. I do know I have a FWD v6 Base model made in Japan. I don't think this would mean the Oil Cooler hose would be in a different location, but none the less can't find it. Has anyone else had issues locating this part?

This is for the 3.5l v6. If that’s what you have then you should be able to find it behind the front shroud. Under the front bumper

It’s a high temp silicon. You really shouldn’t need it but since I bought a low quality knockoff part, it leaked. The silicone just added an extra layer of gasket to prevent leaks.

If your highlander doesn’t have the tow package, it might not have this line. If unsure, suggest taking a picture of your VIN number and calling your dealers parts department. They can run the VIN and tell you if you have the tow package.

You can but you don’t have to. Most of the oil sits in the oil pan which is lower. You will still spill a little bit so be prepared to catch it but you don’t have to drain it all.
