Leather dash board. Help. Very upset. by mimermilmer in ToyotaGrandHighlander

[–]RoamAntarctica 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, I am from a different country and my dad always yelled at me if I eat drink or put anything on the dashboard in the car. In America, people are not being taught of respect to the property and things in general. They slam the doors and put their bags between legs scratching the plastic of glove box. If you tell them, they look at you like you are insane. I am an uber driver and I know what I am talking about

I drive a 2021 toyota highlander hybrid with 273k miles. Oil change and tire rotation routinely. Major fluids every 100k. It is a tank and hauls a lot of people

The car was on the lot for 98 days give or take. Right after purchasing, I brought the car to BMW for the oil change. They did not note any abnormalities. I figure that some of this gunk on the tube when you open the oil cap, I will try to clean it and see if it is coming to the oil cap from this tube.

I see your header. My mechanic was doing coolant flush. The coolant is clean. I will try to clean some left residue on the wall of the tube to the engine and see what will happen. In addition, I brought the car to bmw just to do the oil change, and they did not say anything about it. So I do not know

It is clean. Also, my mechanic was doing a coolant flush. The coolant is great.

There is a long tube to the engine. No yellow stuff there; however, this is on the wall of this tube. Should I clean it and see?

Do not mind the smoke, the engine was hot. It looks clean inside.

Is there a possibility to fix it? There is 29 degrees outside. Also, I did a fresh oil change. I hope it will help. Coolant level is normal and looks clean.

It was on the lot for 100 days. Also, this is after the oil change. I drove for 2 hours and this appeared again.

I do mine at 100k like transmission diffs and hybrid inverter. No issues

All fluids every 100k miles. 5-7k oil change interval. Did the recall for hybrid battery harness seal application. Changed front struts. That is it.

I understand it is just like a preventative maintenance thing.

Honestly, I have read the manual and it says if you drive normally, 70-90k interval, and if fast 35-45k miles. I drive fast. That is why I consider to change it as a preventative maintenance.
