Whats an oil change?

The dealer...why because I work there

 

Do it myself, 3 vehicles and 1 boat. Many good reasons, but IMO, the best is you see other potential problems when u actually root around your vehicle.

 

Dealership offers a lifetime engine warranty if they change my oil every time, so they change my oil, but I do everything else myself.

 

I hope you have that in writing, because that warranty is only good at that dealership, is only good for the duration of that dealer's ownership.....


...and unless they are doing oil changes for free, they are in violation of Magnusson Moss.

 

The dealership has been around forever, but the terms are crappy. Example, the fine print says the replacement motor doesn't have to be a new crate motor or even rebuilt, it can be salvage. Yes I checked it against Magnusson Moss, and the fine print doesn't say they have to do the oil changes, the service managers will tell you they do and if that day ever comes, I don't want to fight that fight. I used to work there and I know most of the managers, I get discounts, and I get to talk to friends, so its whatev.

 

I do my own unless I have a coupon for dealer.

 

Fixing to do my first taco oil change. I am converting from regular oil to mobile 1. I always changed my oil on my blazer any tricks to a taco?

 

Don't drain your transmission fluid(it happens more often then you would think) & get a catch can for below the filter housing...

 

Really? I have been around many different vehicle. Is the oil pan plug and tranny that close?

 

On the 4.0 they are close enough that it can be mistaken...

 

Myself

 

I do it myself... I know that everything has been changed, at the correct levels, and the drain bolt has been properly torqued...

 

I wouldn't deny myself of that PLEASURE, of course I do it myself. Save money, know it's done right, torqued correctly, filled up to the correct mark. That's the first thing I did when I brought my truck home after purchasing it used, change the oil that same day.

 

Do all cars and trucks myself.
Ive had 2 bad experiences at 2 dealerships at 2 different brands (not toyota).
I use shell rotella t6 full synthetic and fram xtra or tough guard every 5K.

 

If it is the very first oil change, you may have trouble getting the old filter off - apparently no one lubes the filter gasket at the factory when the engine is built. Have had no problem on 8 oil changes since - hand tight with filter gasket oiled.

 

the dealership only because i have a 2012 with 75,000 free maintenance plan. once that is done will do myself. only 50,000+ miles to go

 

ditto. had some bad experiences with the the dealer service.

 

I do it myself. Not a big fan of picking my truck up and having grease/oil on the steering wheel and door handle.
