Who does your oil changes?

Why did you change it so early? There's additives and stuff in the first oil. There's a reason they want you to run it for a regular oil interval before draining it.

 

It's just oil. Nothing special about it.

 

When I bought my truck, the salesman recommended halving the first oil change interval due to faster oil contamination from break-in.

There may be some long-life additives in the factory oil simply because the oil has to sit for a long time before a customer takes the vehicle. I bought my truck in May; the doorjam sticker has a January assembly date, which meant the truck sat for 4-5 months with minimal running.

 

Yeah? Show me where you got that information.

 

First oil change should be max 500 miles. No factory cleans engines in laboratory conditions so its good to get first oil change quickly. Even for the sake of making sure that there is enough oil in the engine for normal driving. Plus first 500 miles generate most metal shavings so filter will get clogged sooner. Its precaution, I know some run until 5k but I would not.

 

You're making the extraordinary claim. You show me first.

 

My girlfriend does it for me
























































Problem?
I started doing them myself

 

DIY for sure.

Jiffylube and places like that really only use 5W-20, no matter what your engine calls for.

 

I think the average person on TacomaWorld knows more than the average Jiffy Lube employee.

 

My Self. It gives me a chance to inspect the under carriage, lube the drive shafts and spot touch up the frame.

 

TOUCH MY TRUCK AND I KILL YOU

 

Myself, saves money I guess..... Damn mobil1

 

I do it myself. I don't trust anybody except me working on my trucks.

That's why I never invite buddies over to help work on the truck..I just make them sit and watch DON'T TOUCH THE DUST OR ANYTHING ON IT


I also do it by myself because I buy bulk filters and oil from my mothers work..I drive 650 miles a week..so I do oil changes alot

 

For the love of god please check your oil level after anyone does your oil change or you might be sorry. "Trust and verify" Horatio Cain.

 

Toyota...All dealer service on my Carfax is a good thing...and they don't quibble when I complain about a warranty issue. They just do it. Worth $30 or so.

I change at 2500 they change at 5000.

 

I have the free oil changes so until that is up they are doing mine.

 

i got one more free oil change at the dealership, after that i will be doing it on my own

 

doing mine myself.

 

YEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

 

i hate to admit it but i just take it to the dealer because i bought the truck brand new. It's only like 40 bucks for an oil change and a tire rotation and it goes into their computer so when i go to sell the truck all the records are there on-line which is nice. I do the oil changes on my other vehicles myself though
