I took my newly aquired 02 sc430 for its 1st oil change. I chose the local Toyota dealer instead of Lexus which is over an hour away. After getting home I looked at the reciept an saw I was charged for 8 qts of oil, I looked up the owners manual which says it takes 5.5 qts. I called the Toyata dealer to complain and was told "Sir that's a big v8 in your car".getting noware I called The Lexus dealer who confirmed it should be 6 qts. I called the Toyota dealer told them to call lexus to confirm my statement which they did and will give me a 2 qt credit on my next oil change.. They charged me 79.95 , I think I may drive to the Lexus dealer next time. What do you Cl members pay for non diy oil changes for Mobil one? The oil level was good on the dipstick

$7.79 at Advance Auto Parts and then I do it myself so I don't get screwed at the stealership.

"A big V8 in your car" LOL. They obviuosly have no idea what they are talking about. The V8s in our cars is a 4.3 L, 262ci engine. Ya that a big one LOL.

Well, it IS big when you compare it to a Corolla four banger!

funny and just a coincidence, but I was calling for my first oil change for my new used 04 as I read your thread.
he gave me a quote of $42 + tax and said it takes 8 quarts.
I kindly challenge him that it's 6, but he stuck to 8 qt.
$42 ain't bad, though.

Hope they didn't put that much oil in, because you may want to drawn off a little

Different car, same engine but I just took my car to Toyota (GS430) and they charged me for 5 quarts. I was concerned until I checked the dipstick leaving the dealer which confirmed it to be full. Leads me to believe it was just a default. Asst. Service Manager is a friend of a friend (used to work together at Acura) which netted me a nice discount so maybe that was the reason? Either way, I always check my oil before driving off after an oil change, because you just never know. My bill and you experience are good examples of that.
