You do realize that Scion pays for the first three oil changes.
Although, I suggest you change the oil a bit more frequently [3500K per oil change] compared to the 5k per that toyota recommends. There's been issues in the past with oil sludge on some of the older camry engines. Toyota insists that this issue has been corrected, but in this case, it's better to be safe than sorry.
