If I only had access to a lift, I'd do all my maintenance too. Too old now to be crawling around underneath on my back.

You can change it easily without jacking it up, took me 15 min on my first try. You just need a couple funky tools, $20 at Amazon.

Also the rate for the Toyota 0W20 is below $4.60 a quart now! It came down in price

Not too shabby.. I still don't trust those quick lube places. Too many horror stories.

I buy them when they're on sale. $22 for the 5 quart

Anyone can pay $20 or even $200 to have something done, BUT the peace of mind that everything was done according to spec is priceless.
