Default Oil Change

I wish the oil change on our TT's was as easy as my 2001 Toyota Tacoma Prerunner PU it took me 20 min. start to finish and I didn't have to jack the truck up, drain plug and filter are easy to get to it's a 2wd 2.7 liter 4cly I'm takeing my TT in next week to get it's oil and filters changed as it's more work than I want to do, just getting rid of all the used oil is a pain in the a$$.

I prefer to do all work (within my abilities) on my car myself....as no one else will take as much caution and care as me! It can be hit/miss with hired hands (unless it is with a trusted Rennlist sponsor, of course!).....Marc

My dealer charges $250 to change the oil: nuts but it sounds like a lot of work. How often does one really need to change it?

This subject has been discussed many times with a variety of personal/professional opinions ranging from 3k-10k miles. Example of a search finding.

I over-do everything and change at the end of each driving season and each 3-4K miles. If you can read and jack up your car....you can do the oil change for under 100 bucks and do a nice job.....Oil Change Directions
