have the 3 free oil changes always been offered, or is that new within the last few years?

 

Always been offered. Also, its not really free... just included in the price of car

 

Also, I thinking they probably hit you up for a tire rotation that more than covers what they are spending on our "free" oil change. I prefer to just do it myself.

 

Yeah, and the free only covers the the dino juice, if you want the synthetic they charge you extra...40 bucks for my tC for moby 1...f' that I do my own changes now and much happier with the results.

 

i got 4 of them free cuz the stealership doesnt pay enough attention i guess, i went up to the desk to pay with my 10 dollars in hand and shes like oh no its free... i quickly exited the building

i do all my own changes now tho cuz i use synthetic mobil 1

 

great, thanks for the insights

 

Don't trust my baby to a service hack. Haven't used a single "free" oil change yet. Switched to Mobil 1 right after 1K and never looked back. If you do it yourself the Toyota filters are the way to go and use anything but a Fram!

 

noob question...what's wrong with a fram, just wondering, but i also use mobil 1 synthetic and mobil 1 filters.

 

Fram filter quality has gone down bigtime. Mobil 1 filters are prolly ok but you can buy 10 packs of Toyota filters from Sparks Toyota for around 45 bucks shipped. The choice is yours.

 

the wait at my local dealer is about 2 hours for a oil change,
i said screw that
