Is 'Toyota Care' for real?

I thought Fatlart meant could you take it anyplace that changes oil, and not a Toyota dealer. Which you can't, Toyota won't reimburse you if you get your oil changed someplace else.

But I don't think it matters as long as it's any Toyota dealer.

So how much is an oil change with this Toyota Care (it says you have to pay for the fluids) & how often are you supposed to change the oil?

I'm trying to find out if this will save me any money, so I can factor it into my buying decision?

Does Toyota Care save you any other money? It looks like it comes free with a new purchase. Thanks.

If you have to pay for the fluids, you should be able to bring your own (IMO). I use Amsoil.

You don't pay for any part of the oil change. The only time you pay for fluids is under Roadside Assistance - like if you run out of gas out in the boonies and they bring you gas.

The oil change is completely free. They also rotate the tires and top off the fluids under the hood. Also free. Every 5000 miles up to 2 years/25,000K.
