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.
