Oil Change Issue.

60-70 is the going rate these days for any oil change. You'll find this out when the dealership starts send flyers out to you.

I hope I don't start a debate. You can chose the old rule of 3k, many do 5k between changes (that's what the book says). If the price bugs you, buy your own synthetic and filter and take it to one of those lube job only places.

I paid $42 for an oil change, filter and tire rotation & balance. $60-$70 bucks would make me crawl under the car and do it myself.

20 buck oil changes for Dino and satisfactory filters already has put me under the car. The 60-70 buck changes are the average for all the dealors around here. There is Claremont Toyota who gives free changes for 3 years if you buy from them...but even if I did get my Yaris there, it's about 20-30 miles from me.

As someone else has already meantioned, I change my own oil so I can be touch with what's up with my car. There's something about looking, feeling, poking, pulling..etc on different things to know what's up with your car.
