Oil Change for 2011 Toyota Sienna XLE at 210,000 Miles
I used to change oil in high school, which was more than 20 years ago. Today, I changed oil for our 2011 Toyota Sienna XLE at 210,000 miles. The last time I took it to the dealership, they charged me almost $150. When did oil change had become so expansive?
Of course I watched some YouTube videos to refresh myself. Here are the parts:
- Oil Filter Wrench for Toyota: $30 (It’s a great tool for removing the oil filter)
- Toyota OE Engine Oil Filter 04152-YZZA1: $8
- Kirkland Signature 0W-20 Full Synthetic Motor Oil 5-quart, 2-pack: $30 (Only 6.5 quartz are needed)
Without the oil filter wrench, the parts cost less than $40. It saved $100 and 3 hours waiting time. I spent about an hour on it, but it will be faster the next time because I will know exactly what to do.
Nowadays, I have to do as many things as I can. Everything is so damn expensive.
