$37.25 for an oil change. Is that a high price?

Red Horse · 12-01-2009, 04:07 PM

yea

Vang · 12-01-2009, 07:34 PM

same as jiffy lubes here where i live

SilverBack · 12-01-2009, 07:50 PM

Oil change only is usually about $20-25, but you still got a decent deal with all the other stuff they did for you

yaris-me · 12-02-2009, 02:09 AM

Not by a dealer. It cost me $34 to do my own.

kac · 12-02-2009, 02:26 AM

not a horrible price, but of course would have been cheaper to do it yourself...

ddongbap · 12-02-2009, 03:19 AM

Doing it yourself requires time. Time is money. Just because you can do it yourself, doesn't necessarily mean you're saving cash. Even though, for most people it does.

Your comment makes little sense.

So waiting for your turn at JippyLube, or the dealship is saving time and money?

If you are worried about time and money, you'd change the oil yourself, and have it done in less time on most occassions.

And while you're waiting for Jippy Lube to get to your car, there you are waiting and doing little productive.

To save time and money do it yourself.

In addition, for the price Jippy and dealerships charge for convetional oil, you can do it yourself and use synthetic and since synthetic oil can be use 50% to 100% longer intervals, you save money there too because you perform less oil changes.

15 minutes takes care of oil, filter, and disposal.

If theres a line, you can always go to the 1092309123 locations in So-Cal.

My point exactly. It works better for him.

Now, granted I sometimes go to Jiffy Lube just cause I'm just lazy. And now I'm running Neo oil, and I don't plan to EVER do an oil change anymore. (It was a joke. Stop your qqing.)

Lol. "Jippylube". Cute.

So somehow you think it takes more time to do it yourself? I guess if you don't know what you are doing or you live next to an oil change place and there's never a line...

Time is moot for me, it would probably actually take more time to go to the dealer or even a quick lube place - set up appointment (or not), wait around, wait around, wait... yeah.

I just ordered a case of OEM Toyota oil filters @ $4 ea and a OEM Toyota air filter for $12, as well as a TRD oil filter (out of curiosity) and a few drain plug gaskets for backup purposes. Did I mention Pennzoil Platinum synthetic is $20 for 5 quarts all day every day at my local Wal-Mart? I got it when the $15 mail-in-rebate deal was going on, so...

Yeah, even using the TRD filter on my next oil change, net cost is going to be < $15 in (superior) parts/oil.

Go superior that crap up. Thats why we're all driving Yarisisis. Since we're in the business to do business, and we lack time to do menial things, such as oil changes. Oh wait...

Btw, someone did research on the TRD oil filter. It seems to be one of the better oil filters available.

And Penzoil syn oil being superior? Nice.

We have a Yaris because it was cheap and it looked decent and it will probably last 4-5 years. Our teenager drives it. Next.

MUSKOKA800 · 12-02-2009, 08:51 AM

5 quarts of oil? Where did they put it all?

3.9 US quarts is the fill with new filter.

Below is copied from the 2007 Owners Manual, my 2008 is the same:

ENGINE LUBRICATION
Oil capacity (drain and refill), L (qt., Imp.
qt.):
With filter 3.7 (3.9, 3.3)
Without filter 3.4 (3.6, 3.0)
“Toyota Genuine Motor Oil” is used in
your Toyota vehicle. Use Toyota approved
“Toyota Genuine Motor Oil” or equivalent
to satisfy the following grade and viscosity.
