Left a bolt out of the skid plate and do not clean up after themselves very well.
I have a private mechanic that changes mine and it comes to $94. I get 8 quarts of TGMO 0w-20, a tire rotation, Toyota filter, driveshaft lubed and washer fluid topped off. I could do it myself cheaper but this guy has a nice recliner in his shop and does not have a problem with me sitting there and watching him do the work.
$94, that's not really bad, not if you are going in every 10k. Vastly cheaper than the gas it took to go 10k!
I kinda wish my Camry had a larger sump, it's about 5qt (4.5 I think). Over half the engine size of my Tundra, turns about 1.5 the rpm's of my Tundra? So (in a sense) it gets worked just as hard while loafing around. When I changed the oils in both I've noticed the Camry has a stronger smell of gasoline.
