Now that I have the warranty worries cleared up, I will be changing my own oil. Probably will purchase a handful of Toyota filters at 1 time and see if the dealership will give me a discount to do so (I know they can if they want to).
Other than that, I assume I don't have to change out the washer on the drain plug every time to stay w/in warranty specs? Also, I would assume with the top mounted/facing down oil filter, I can drain from the pan and then easily remove filter last without any oil splattering all over the place?
I would assume my engine would probably love some nice syn oil to run on. 5W30 for sure. Any input? So here is what I'll prolly go with:
1. Mobil 1
2. Castrol Syntec
3. Castrol GTX
4. Quaker State
5. Valvoline <-------- Not! that stuff is garbage~
