does anyone get synthethic at toyota dealer?

way to expensive . Go to ADVANCE AUTO PARTS , BJs WHOLESALE ( Shell synthetic , $4.19 a qt. ) , WALLY WORLD , PEBOYS , AUTOZONE , or others for better price . Get oil yourself and have them do the oil change by substituting the regular oil with the synthetic you bought and still using their oil filter , a TOYO ( Denso ) I assume . I would think the total cost would be $40 or a bit more . If you do so , bring 4 quarts of the synthetic and tell them to pour 3 and a 1/2 quarts in for the fill . This will bring it to or a tad below/above the FULL line on the dipstick . Read dipstick before leaving the business to make sure oil was installed , we've had them not fill ( possibly 1/2 qt. oil ) or overfill ( 1 qt. or > ) the engine in past . Then , recheck oil when car has been sitting for 1 hour or more on a level surface . Last , look under the car for leaks on occasion ( loose oil filter ) . My better halfs ' brother had a well known oil change chain not tighten the filter on his TACOMA . Luckily we were around to notice the oil spewing from under the truck and had him come to house so I could tighten the filter and pour in 4 quarts of oil I had in garage . Quite messy as well . These are the reasons why I now do oil changes myself . Plus it's cheaper .
