I didn't have to use a ramp or jacks when I did my oil change.
It is low to the ground though by comparison to other cars I've owned, but still at the stock height it's not bad at all. |

$86.44 for oil change?
I just paid $64 for my 08 third oil changed. I went to the local EZ Lupe. I think you were way over charged for the oil change. Did they do more than just change the oil?

yeah you did get ripped off
yeah i really believe that got ripped off
very badly and as far as them putting synthetic oil, its kinda of rare for them to put it on unless you ask for it. I actually spoke to one of the technicians and he told me that once you have started with synthetic you shouldn't go back to regular and vice versa. He also said that Toyota made their cars to work with the regular oil and that is the default oil that they use when people bring in their Toyotas for an oil change. Even though your car is new, just stick to regular oil. Toyota makes them so that they work with the regular oil, plus synthetic will cost more. That really sucks that it really happened. Try to learn and do it yourself, look on video sites such as youtube or have a friend teach you and you can start saving a lot of money and putting the rest of your money on something that is really worth paying for. -Sam

Not the same thing. The jug at Walmart is a 5 quart one, the one at Autozone is 5 liters. Throw in the free Mobile 1 oil filter (which Walmart doesn't even carry, just that Fram shit) and you come out ahead...

The difference between 5 quarts and 5 liters is 9 ounces. Neither is enough for 2 oil changes, so if you kept it you would still have to buy additional oil for the time when you do the second change or a change on another vehicle... How much does that M1-130 filter cost by itself?
