Who does your oil changes?

I buy my only Mobil Ext & eather a Mobil filter or K&N & take it to the dealer for 15.00

 

Pfft. Me NOW. My two year "free" oil changes expired last month.

 

When I got my truck last week I asked about the last oil change and found that it was still under toyotacare so I'm going to take it one time to them so they can rotate the tires and do their inspection. After that I'm switching it to synthetic and doing it myself.

 

My self. Would never let some kid at jiffy lube touch my truck or any of my other vehicles. If you are a man you should know how to change oil at the least...

Should know and doing are not one in the same ...

 

Who the hell goes to Jiffy Lube ?

 

In MY opinion an Oil Change on a Taco is so easy that if you don't do it yourself you need to have your Man-Card Suspended for 90 days.

Besides being easy to do, it gives you a chance to do a 'Wrench Around' on your truck and make sure everything is in order. In addition, you can use the money saved to upgrade to a better lubricant if you so choose.

Recently, I changed mine and after pulling the skid plate off I cleaned it up and repainted it with some bed Liner paint.

I do not want to Ride my Taco and put her up Wet. Be good to your Taco and she will be good to You.

 

Myself... OEM filter, Mobil 1 full synth 5w-20.

I need to get me one of those quick drain plugs from the group buy section too.

 

I have taken it to the dealership the first couple of times. Now that I bought tires from them, I will probably keep doing that since I can get the free tire rotation each time. But from now on I might do like others have said, bring my own oil and filter and just pay for labor.

 

No one but me...

 

Reluctantly, until I clear my 2 year service warranty the dealership will do it. But hearing all the horror stories ill mark my oil filter to make sure they Chang it and check my oil levels before I leave! Post-it note on the steering wheel to make sure they don't wash it either!

 

Read up on Magnusson Moss.
They can not void your warranty for not having the work performed at the dealer.

 

I had a service contract with the dealer but it expired at 25K. So now I do them, mostly at home but I can do it at the shop where I work.

As for the filter, While I am draining the oil. I use a cup to catch the oil through the drain hole on the oil cooler.

 

I do all oil changes i can. Since the 2year maitinence is free, i might as well take advantage of it for now. Once its up though, itll be me in the driveway (already did one change at 1500 miles and I LOVE that i don't have to jack up the truck).

 

Who does my oil changes???


Me, Me, and Motherfuckin Me. I don't trust anyone with my truck.

 

It's sooooo easy do it yourself!!!

 

Just did mine today

 

I go to the dealership even though I'd like to do it myself someday(here and Youtube made it so much easier to learn). I park on the street and it's illegal to do it there. We have a gravel pad and I am not going to go through the hassle of that. I'm still under warranty so it's not a big deal.

I'll slip a piece of cardboard down so I stay cleaner, given that I'm changing it in the condo parking lot, and not every vehicle in the lot is a Toyota that doesn't leak oil.
