I don't know if you've heard of this website, but it's great! and I'm able to get quality name brand parts at great discount prices. How many qts did you actually use? and did you just get the Toyota type IV or the Mobil? I, too, am surprized the dealership guy didn't know about the filter thing, which again, is why I say to take what they tell you with a grain of salt, for the most part.

I wish others would be aware of this relatively easy diy project and save a lot of money for other important things.

Thanks for the "beer"!

Again wish I had a fancy camera to document the whole process, it's pretty much straight forward. Think I might link this page to the thread I started on the regional side.

If your ever in town AirDave give me a holler! Thanks again!
