Why does the heat not work in your 93 Toyota Highlander?

Several possibilities: (1) the cooling system thermostat has failed and is in the 'open' position not allowing the coolant to warm up sufficiently to heat the interiror. (2) the cooling system is clogged, or the heater hoses are clogged, with dirt/debris/sludge not allowing the coolant to circulate heat into the interior radiator. (3) the control which is designed to regulate the interior heat by regulating the flow of coolant and air into the interior has failed. (4) The interior circulating fan has failed and is not circulating the warmed air. Probably the best and easiest place to start is checking your fuses to make sure that all fuses having to do with the heating/coooling systems are good. Other than that, for the remainder, you're probably looking at a mechanic to diagnose the other possibilities.

How does coolant get into the oil?

There are a few ways this can occur. If there are no other symptoms it might just be a leak in the front cover (where water pump is bolted to engine). A blown cylinder head gasket, cracked head or engine block could also be the cause. These are usually (but not always) accompanied by other symptoms. Such as little or no interior heat, white exhaust smoke (steam) ,and or air bubbles in the radiator recovery tank. (take CAUTION when looking in the recovery tank hot coolant can be sprayed out without warning). The engine will likely overheat as well, (temperature sending units and the thermostat can fail to operate properly if there is air (combustion gasses) in the coolant system. Engine coolant in the oil will destroy the crankshaft bearings. Have the coolant system pressure tested.
