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.
