    Today, I took my car to the local Toyota dealer, today, for the 23 or 24 month "free" service.

    I got my third "free" oil change today.

    I changed my oil and filter myself in August 2012 at 3,300 mikes.

    If January 2013, they gave me an oil change at 6,500 miles.

    Toyota sent me a notice in August 2013. I got another oil change at 8,300.

    Today, the Service Manager said that the August 2013 oil change was a mistake.

    Can you all believe it? Just over 10k miles, and I've had four oil and filter changes.

    It's just a ruse to get you in so that they can see what new gizmo you have installed!

    Sounds like a waste of time to me…

    Well; it's NOT a problem at all. I'm retired and I own my own time.

    Friday, I was browsing at Walmart just to past the time, and I got bored. So, I went to the dealership across the street.

    It took and hour, and I got to look at some new cars and do some research.

    It was actually very enjoyable.
