The last time I got an oil change it was $80 - I know there’s inflation and a barrel of oil is not cheap but yikes!

    Change your own oil!
    Penzoil Platinum 0W16 (Amazing Oil) is $26.44 at Walmart for 5Qt Jug.
    Penzoil Platinum 0W20 is $23.78
    Penzoil Platinum 5W20 is $23.78

    Purolator BOSS Filter (Best Filter) is $12 at Walmart.

    So your total is around $36-38 and that is with Amazing Synthetic Oil and the best oil filter.
    Learn to do the freaking oil change! Buy a set of 12,000lbs plastic ramps ($50), large oil pan ($20) and basic socket set from Amazon ($30).

    Keep in mind you do need to change the drain bolt washer every time. Those can only be purchased at Toyota Dealer (around $1 per washer, buy a pack of 10).

    All dealerships and quick lube places use the most absolute garbage cheapest oil on the market. Like the lowest of the low. When you do your own oil changes you get to decide what goes into your engine.

      Kirkland Signature 0W-20 is $40 for 10 quarts. A filter at Toyota dealership is about $8. I use about 5 quarts per oil change so total is $28.
