Oil change

[11LTD]

Talk about being upset!!! My Toyota dealer informed me this last week that our new 4Runner warranty would be voided if I chose to change the oil myself. He said that the Toyota 0w20 synthetic oil must be used and it must be changed at the dealership to maintain warranty.

I have contacted the regional Toyota office, but have yet to receive a reply. I'm afraid as much as we like this truck, I will sell it the minute the two year service expires if I do indeed have to have the dealership perform the oil changes in order to keep the warranty valid.

What a rip off to have to pay upwards of $100 for an oil change! This is our second Toyota (first was an 09 Venza), but more than likely our last.

Just keep records and receipts of the oil you buy for the 4Runner and when you changed it.

Your dealer needs to familiarize themselves with the Magnuson Moss Act. And the burden of proof is on them.

Buy your own oil, keep receipts, buy a box of Toyota filters, update your maintenance log when done.

Total bs

I have changed my oil in all of my 4 Toyota products and simply keep a log that includes date/mileage/service performed/receipts for parts. Whneever I have had a warranty claim they have asked to see maintenance records and I show them my spiral notebook log for each vehicle. NEVER a problem.

Just make certain you follow the entire service schedule for your truck.

Plus, find a different dealer.
