Question 1: To keep my warranty, do I need to bring my car to the dealer everytime?
Question 2: If I do change my own oil, how do I turn off the "maintenance required" light?
Question 3: How do I proof that I've done my oil change my self to keep the warranty?


P.S. I did a search on "oil change" but didnt see anything on first page, so please dont flame me

 

Answer 1: I ____ing hope not.
Answer 2: Its in the manual, it involves holding down the odometer reset and turning the car from normal to accessory mode, bunch of crap like that.
Answer 3: Get a notorized affadavit from your attorney. Honestly, I would assume keeping a maintenance notebook would get it.

1) No. By federal law you can do it yourself or have anyone of your choosing do it so long as the oil and filter meet Scion specs.
2) Just like it says in your manual...
3) Keep a simple logbook for your car with an envelope in the back for the reciepts showing you actually bought oil and filter at the appropriate times, or paid someone to do the service. Those reciepts are what back up your word and keep your warranty. (Actually just the envelope with the oil change dates and mileages scrawled on the outside and the reciepts inside is more than enough.)

Hope that helps.

 

Thank you tom! I think Im gonna go synthetic then.

 

And I will start modifying my engine. I will bring my tc to a private oil change place so the dealer wont find out about my CAI. If there is anything wrong, I will swap it back to stock... Schweeeettttt. I am afraid because I bought the extended warranty .
