Those of you who have recently purchased a new Avalon and plan on using the dealers "free oil/filter change coupons" that may have come with your purchase.
Beware!!!
The coupons read "up to 5 qts." - unfortunately your car holds close to 7 qts. It's either 6.4 or 6.8 - I forget the exact amt., but it IS NOT 5 qts.
I've searched the WEB and have learned that many Toyota dealers are only installing 5 qts. in the '06 Avalon motor.
All the more reason to change your own oil. Here's the URL with the instructions:
