The thought had crossed my mind to give up on removing it and filling it up with oil to take it to the dealership to do it (and change out with fresh oil on their dime). But then I figured I’d be back in the same place next time with an over tightened metal cap lol.
Yeah swapped it out.
One dealership around here has some coupons for oil changes that usually makes the price reasonable enough to not spend the time myself. I guess I paid for all that “saved time” in one evening! Lol
Do they use an impact wrench? Mine was amazingly tight.
Last oil change was at the dealership. Went to change it today and it was smooth sailing until I went to remove the oil filter cap. Couldn’t get it to budge using the 3/8 drive. After 1.5 hours of swearing and using a bunch of other tools...
Placed my order on 9/24. After a few emails asking for updates I got my shipping confirmation on 10/9. USPS got them to my door finally last night and I buttoned them on today. Looks like a good product and the holes lined up nicely.
I got an email on Friday that they were working on 5th gen ones this past weekend. Hopefully they did because I didn’t realize it would take awhile when I placed an order. Would be nice if they were upfront about it on their website.
A dealership out here is trying to get me in a 2021 TRD Pro in Mag Gray for $6k over MSRP.
Granted it's been 5 years since I've looked at prices, but that still seems crazy high to me. Is this the new "normal" for the TRD Pros?
Edit: they just quoted $64,990 OTD. That’s crazy for a Toyota lol.
