Who does your oil changes?

primarily the dealer, a mechanic i use, or myself.

i would only use a jiffylube type place in a pinch, but would follow up as soon as i could with it done again at one of the above... i just don't trust them.

 

Dealership until warranty goes away

 

The dealership does mine my truck came with a lifetime oil change including the filter

 

at 230K definitely myself. Though Jiffy Lube may be about the same price...

 

The place that is installing my lift on Friday currently has alignments for $80, which I obviously need after the lift, and oil changes for $30 (cost). I want synthetic so it will cost more but I'm still pretty stoked to kill 3 birds with one stone.

 

I've been taking it to Toyota for $30. Gonna switch over to Mobile 1 I think and start doing them myself now.

 

i do the same, swap out the factory oil and whatever else is in it at 1K,
i'll likely be doing it this weekend ...

it's so clean it's practically clear still at 750 miles, but the new truck is getting some fresh Amsoil 0W30 an a Wix filter whether she needs it or not

 

guys, if you can't do oil change yourself... you should be ashame of yourself and if I were your balls, I f-king pack up and leave!!!

I have been using synthetic with mobil 1, pennzoil and amsoil myself, its easy!!!
get a purolator pureone oil filter, or toyota OEM, then you are good to go.

cake people! CAKE!!!!

 

can anyone help me find my balls ?

 

See now thats what I should have hassled for... I do it myself but if i could have gotten it done free that would have been wicked.

 

Just did one myself, just past the 500 mile mark today. The rest will be at the dealership since thye are free.

 

I have to admitt as ive got a older I would previously let the dealership do it on whatever vehicle I had, but I looked at the DIY section on oil changes and just did it myself sunday. It is not worth my time or money to go to a dealer. It is quite simply the easiest thing I have ever done on a truck. I was truely amazed that this truck is as simple as it is. I will admit if I got oil changes thrown in when I bought the truck I would have them do it but I didnt so its all me all the time

 

There's a difference between can't change my oil and don't change my oil myself.

My ability to do so is evident by my other mechanical projects I take on.

Of course I can change my oil, but why bother when I won't save any money and only spend my valuable time?

Though, as mentioned earlier in this thread, I'm gonna start doing them myself cause I don't have a gf now and have plenty of free time

 

Free? Even when my truck was under warranty they were never free from the stealership! Man i wanna go to you dealership

 

dealership........ I have free oil changes till 100,000 miles

 

The Dealership, because the wife is worried if I do it and then down the line something goes wrong the warrenty will be voided.

 

That's just sad john, do it urself and just document it and keep the receipts no probs

 

There is nothing sad about it.. You dont get what I am saying. She Tells me to take it to the dealership so I do.. it doesnt matter if I got a letter from Toyota signed by the CEO telling me how i can do it myself and save recipets and what not she would still tell me to take it to the dealership.

so you know what im going to do.. take it to the dealership..

 

and the best part is Buffalo Wild Wings is 2 blocks from the dealership.. so when I go for an Oil Change im just about garenteed to get me some wings (boneless)

 

Man up ! DYI. What she gona do, cut you off til you take it to the dealer ? Lets see no sex and get all dirty and oily under a truck or go to the dealer. I take it back. Forget being a man go to the dealer. That's what I'd do.
