    So got a groupon for a Valvoline oil change. Cost me $39.99 for semi synthetic 5 quarts. I knew I would pay the difference for the extra oil. Ive done this in the past with my Tacoma. Got there today and they say their computer says only full synthetic oil should be used. I told them I already paid for semi. They told me no problem they would still honor it for full synthetic. So got the oil changed using the full synthetic. The additional oil was $24, kind of pricey but saves me from having to do it in 30 degree weather. They finish up and my total was the $39.99 I paid for groupon and $24 for the extra. This included a new crush washer for the filter. The guy proceeds to tell me it will take a couple more minutes because they have to put the skid plate back on........... Ummm ok is this normal to have to take the skid plate off for a oil change on a 2015 tundra??? If so glad I had them do it , lol.

    The stock skid plate needs to be removed to get to the oil filter. The TRD skid plate, and most aftermarket skid plates have an access panel which allow filter replacement without removing skid plate.

    $65 is pretty standard for an oil and filter change at the dealership...

    The thing I like about them is no appointment. You just drive up , never get out of your truck and your out in 15 minutes.
