    hmm, ill have to try that next time. wished they wouldve put the filter at a diff angle to at least catch it from leakin all over the place in the mean time. ill have to ask someone in the service dept what they do to keep it from overspillin when they change it out next time im out at one

    Dealership.
    I would do it myself, but:
    i dont have a garage, ramps, or jack stands, a place to store old oil, and much time to do it.
    i travel for my job, so not home much.
    Plus i got the first oil change/ tire rotation free, second one had a coupon for 39.35 oild change and tire rotation, and 3rd one was free for attending a new Toyota owners event.
    3 Oil changes, 3 tire rotations, 2 alignments, for $39.95 is pretty sweet deal!

    not a bad price at all but if u decided to do ur own oil change only thing u need other than oil is a socket wrench and a catch pan.... take the used oil to autozone or advance and they dispose of it

    I let the dealer do it. They gave me $4.99 lifetime oil changes. If I can beat that price somewhere else then the dealer won't do it anymore. :p

    I do my own....The dealer or any quick lube place can't do a full synthetic change with top notch filter for under $40. Plus peace of mind that it's being done right for free is a no brainer.

    I do my own because I use 25k mile synthetic Amsoil and filter (you can't usually get it at the oil change shop) which lazy me only changes once a year. I usually run about 15k miles a year.
