$150 oil change?  I'm guessing it takes a lot of an expensive oil.

How long is the change interval?

Is it a cartridge filter?  The AMSOIL replacement filters for Toyota cartridges aren't cheap. The one for the Corolla is over $20. A Signature AMSOIL oil change with their filter runs about $80 for the Corolla. Not cheap, but given that it's the best oil and filter you can buy, not bad.

10 liters of Amsoil synthetic. And cartridge filter. Am glad I kept my Snap-On cartridge wrench from my IS350...it's the same! Synthetic filter is $20..no biggie.

OCI is 8k...but forum members have normal oil analysis after 16k. I'll go 10k, do an analysis an dial it in from there.

This particular Amsoil oil is good for 40k intervals...so 16k or so should be nothing at all.

Winter tires on! Not too bad for a winter set up IMO. Also, the jack pucks with pinch weld cut out work very well.

NICE!  I have Fast wheels on both our DD for winters.  IIRC, Fast is Quebec based so Canadian made, bonus!  Also I was told Fast makes OE wheels for Toyota and Honda.

Just changed over to winters on the Outback, changed the oil an filter while I had it in the air.   Castrol Edge synthetic if anyone cares.   

The NAPA filter was getting rusty and starting to weep.

Put the T/A into storage at my grandmother's place......First time I've stored it, I usually just keep it covered in my driveway so I can take it out on the rare dry winter day. That was fun for a couple years, but it ends up being more work to keep it clear of snow, plus it's in my way in the driveway.

This also allows me to park just 2 cars in the driveway for now - like 'normal' folks :D Feels a bit weird.

Wouldn't 'normal' folks have them parked in the garage? LOL!

They're looking good! Love that TA as well.

I put the winters on Bella's 323i & took the 951 out for a good rip!

I put the winters on the Golf. By far the fastest I've done it.

A wheel guide pin should be mandatory for all cars with lug bolts. It made it sooooooo much easier.

I'm going to get a floor jack though. It's a little sketchy using the scissor one from the tool kit.

Most people don't use the garage for their vehicles. 

IIRC, Firm probably has one of the Camaros in there.

Bella's BMW is in the unique position of looking better with the winter tires on it than with the all season tires.

Love the Jepp GC. Boy am I convincing myself one will be next for Mrs. Vmango.

It'll be an SRT, though, right?  Right?

Lol thought about it actually but I think the Overland Trip with the V8 would be my first choice for her. I'm not sure the summit adds anything I'd want.

Attaboy!!!!  Don't get the V6.  As good as the Pentastar is, it's too pedestrian for a vehicle such as this.
