    Dealer Oil Change- didn't put in an oil filter! What can I do?

    No proof as it's just my word, as I changed my oil this time. I do have record with them that the service tech did forget to tighten all but one of my lug nuts on all 4 wheels, so there's proof of an incompetent service tech. I did speak to the service manager yesterday and he did seem...

    Thanks @02SE. Agreed, I will only be doing my own oil changes going forward. I still have one more free one, but no thanks.

    Dealer Oil Change- didn't put in an oil filter! What can I do?

    Great ideas thanks Hungryhawk. I don't know how I can get written proof that the filter was missing as I did the oil change today myself. Now it's just my word against theirs. What I do have proof of is that whoever did the service last time was not at the top of their game. I didn't mention...

    Dealer Oil Change- didn't put in an oil filter! What can I do?

    '24 4Runner TRD Pro with 18K miles. First oil change was done by me at around 4K. 2nd oil change at 12K by dealer. I just did 3rd oil change myself at 18K and found out that the dealer didn't put in a oil filter when they did the last oil change at 12k miles. So 6K miles of driving without the...

    Rock sliders that "could" work as a step too

    These look really nice. Do you find that they stick out too much? I like them.

    Best rock sliders on a budget?

    Any strong opinions on whether to go angled or not? I like the angled look but wonder if you can step on them to get to your roof? Any opinions?

    Dealer vs. owner oil changes -- void warranty?

    I think I'm learning that you get what you pay for. The free dealer oil change is worth $0.

    What are you paying for oil change?

    My first free from a dealer was a joke. They forgot the oil filter and I figured out 6K miles later.

    Gettel Toyota of Lakewood in Bradenton, FL. Didn't put in the oil filter and only tightened one lug nut per wheel during a tire rotation. Never going back there again.

    Toyota Dealership Overtightening Filter Cap on Oil Changes

    How can I tell if the dealer changed my oil?

    I think I've learned the hard way that even though dealer oil changes are free for first 20K miles, they aren't worth it. They just don't care. They forgot to include an oil filter and just figured it out 6K miles later. They also didn't tighten the nuts on the cover plate and only tighted 1...
