Who does your oil changes?

x2

 

Myself, once @ 850 miles with a switch to Mobil 1, then 2500 miles...now just waiting to hit 5000k miles.

 

Myself, but I did cheat last time around. I have no time, so I folded and went to someone. So sad. I did recheck their work. Bastards left an oil spot. LOL
Had the silver monster for going on 4 years and still only have under 30k miles on it.

 

I do it myself. It is too easy to have someone else do it. They charge way too much. Most places I have gone to are like $40-$50 just for changing oil. That is way too much for me. And with those costs you still only get the worst oil they have.

 

I pay $28 to have a full oil and filter changed at big O.

 

Whats oil?

 

I change it myself. Always have always will. The only gripe I have with my 1st gen 2.7l is the skid plate. When you take the oil filter off the remaining oil drips down on the plate making a small mess to clean, but nothing big. However, unfortunitly before I owned the truck had 53k on it when I got it, it was serviced at an oil change shop. The sticker said they used 10w30, so thats what Ive stuck with now at 90k. Is this ok or sould I start using 5w30 which the cap says?

 

DIY, because no one can do it as good as me

 

once my truck reach 3000 miles, I will try to do it myself. I have never worked on any of my car before, this will be my first time. According to you all it seems pretty easy to change oil on our tacomas.

 

Like many others, DIY here too. Although, I tend to think most truck owners are just that type of people?

 

me and only me

 

I agree this is the easiest oil change I've ever done. Plus you know it's done right.

 

myself, why would i pay someone to do something i could do?

 

I change it myself b/c makes me feel like a manly man!!

 

Currently the dealership but I'm thinking of doing the next one. I haven't changed my own oil since college (Jeep Wrangler). I might just make the jump to synthetic with the cost savings. What are folks doing with the old oil?

 

I do it myself to save some money. Who knows when I'll need the cash because I saw something cool on this site that I'd like to try.

 

Terrorists, because that's where much of the money we spend on oil seems to end up.

 

I can change it myself with Mobil-1 synthetic for $20 less than the stealership will charge me to put some cheap bulk dino oil in it. No-brainer.

 

i dont let nobody touch my baby!
