    My 2010 with 145k just gave out. Luckily I was close to home and didn't lose too much oil. We appreciate this detailed video!!

    You did a very good job of filming and describing this repair in detail. A lot of people put repair videos on RUclips that are garbage. Music blaring, poor descriptions and just plain incomprehensible.

    Nice informative video. I just had to get this pipe replaced. Didn't notice the oil dripping from my Highlander(2008/155000 mi) till I had made it safely to my driveway. Must have just happened. Whole bottom of car is sprayed with oil plus the outside of hatch at rear and a rear tire. What a mess! Towed to Toyota service dept. Also had oil added and replaced a drive belt that had disintegrated. Estimated cost of $1100+. I unfortunately can't work on a problem like this myself. I have changed out the battery a couple of times though. 67 years young and female. Shortly, I'm planning to work on the AC/furnace fan next. Your video helped me understand what to say to the repair guy even though I couldn't do the repair myself. 💪

    This is really helpful -- THANKS!
    I just got a 2010 Highlander Limited with the towing package and 137,000 miles, in good shape except is still has the original rubber and metal pipes (not leaking at yet). I understand that is big risk anyway. Will be changing it out myself right away using the genuine parts and your great instructions. I'm not a pro like you so wish me luck.

    *Edit - this oil cooler pipe with two gaskets was a total of $291.85 in Ontario Canada - pipe alone was $239 - thought I’d add that info.

    The stud farthest to the right (closest to the steering wheel) is, in my experience, the only one that must be installed before putting the pipe in place. So that's how I did it--removed the three other studs and just had that one in and then put the pipe assembly on and added the other nuts and studs. This job was harder than I thought it would be.

    Great job and excellent explanation. Two suggestions: spray some degreaser up in there while everything is apart and hose it off so it's nice and clean for the customer; and second, just change the oil and filter so everything is nice and fresh.
    Little things like that go a LONG way with a customer.

    I worked on 2008 toyota highlander for four hours just to put the line back.
    After I watched you video and how you go step by step that helped a lot.
    The easy way for me was to put the oil line back is to I take the two Bottom Bolt out
    I was wondering if you have a video for changing Spark plug for the same car..

    Good video Frank, thank you
    This happened to me when we were out on a family trip out of state in Maryland.
    It was either two things, 1) leaky oil filter, since I just did an oil change at a shop before the trip, but that wasn't it, 2) it was leaking out of the oil pan gasket. I went and bought tools and replacement parts and replaced the oil pan gasket. I turn on the car and same oil coming out! Got closer to the issue under the car and that is when I noticed the hose leaking. This I could not repair myself. Fitzgerald Toyota Dealer just a few miles away, I called and spoke to the service manager, he mentioned that they had one Toyota "Recall: kit replacement left, so I had the car towed to them. They were AMAZING, great service and great attitude all fixed for free, the bill came out to about $1,200. I was very grateful to say the least.

      Nice. We had similar experience with failed oil cooler line, but our dealer said the "campaign" to replace for free had expired, so we have to pay $720 out of pocket. Our VVT-i oil line has already been upgraded back in 2011, very similar original design with short rubber hose sections. If you haven't had that upgrade, look into it since it is open until 12/31/2021. It's LSC 90K campaign.
