The first two oil changes are free. Also factor in $ 200 to $ 300 per additional routine servicing and about half that amount if you do your routine service at Toyota. I always turned down maintenance packages as it's cheaper and more convenient to go to my local Toyota dealer.

If you are leasing, especially short term, you will not need any additional maintenance program.
