    We just received in the mail a windshield sticker that states that we need to return to the dealership for the next oil change at 182K miles. So it looks like the dealer wants us to do 5K oil changes. So, I will adhere to that schedule. I think for this next oil change, I will do it at the dealer. And, then start doing some on my own. I made a notebook to hold all receipts and maintenance paperwork, and it has sheets of paper to record maintenance notes.

    The Toyota maintenance schedule has a group of inspections and a tire rotation at 5k intervals.

    They will certainly do an oil change if you ask.
