6 Month Service Advice

[rageandlove]

I am somewhat concerned about the "repeated low miles" commute trips but I am not making those trips in sub zero weather and I don't work for Amazon making door to door deliveries so probably doesn't apply to me.
I'll probably document having done the checklist myself rotate my tires at 5k miles, change my own oil at 12 months which will likely be south of 8k miles which I figure is good compromise from everything I gleamed off this thread and past review.

Anyone know that local auto stores have place to take old oil and get rid of it when done? How much does that add to the tab?

Thanks to everyone here for all the feedback. Much appreciated!

Cheers

Take the oil to an O'Reilly auto parts. They have to take it for free. Not sure where you live in Seattle, but they are all over the place.

I am not sure if all dealers honor this this same. The dealer I use honored it for me on my 4Runner after they installed a level for me. Also on my Tacoma I was “in the green” according the machine, but I was unhappy with some of the numbers so they kept adjusting until I was happy all at no cost to me.

Gotcha, that's a nice dealer! Maybe you were already paying money for the install of the level, so they included the alignment. For your Taco, it sounds like you told them you didn't like the way it drove so they fixed it based on how it felt. Either way, nice dealer lol when I go in for my first tire rotation I'll have to ask them about it
