    So, I am driving a 2017 Tundra, all factory. I found this place while looking for some easy modifications. I have seen a LOT of information here so figured I would join. Go easy on me, not a super car mod guy, just wanting some cosmetic and functional improvements.

    I don't do my own oil changes. (I know, I know). I use the dealership for maintenance cause most of the local shops are crooked as hell and the dealer usually has better pricing than the shops. So, I just use the "Genuine Toyota Oil" that the dealer pours in. I will gladly take some recommendations to have her running longer and performing better.

    I have that on the list as well as taillights. The headlights are growing yellow on the top so I need to find a replacement for the lenses as well.

    All I see is links for the 2018 bundle and it says it doesn't fit the 2017. Maybe I ma missing it, but will dig deeper.

    Welcome from LA (Lower Alabama)! You're really not going to get much better than the Toyota OEM oil. I find it very interesting that the dealer has better pricing and is more trustworthy than local shops. Everywhere I have lived, I have found the dealership to be more expensive and less trustworthy. Not all local shops are good, but I have always been able to find a few close to me.
