You trust them to build your car but don't trust the factory trained professionals who service you model of a car daily to change the oil? Take it to one of the teenagers in the lube place or Walmart like somebody here suggested, get inferior oil filter and stripped drain plug, or worse. The Toyota dealer in my area has oil change costs comparison chart right on the wall, and yes they are also the cheapest.

First buy a Toyota oil filter and have the oil changed at any NEW car dealer. Keep the receipt and make them use the Toyota filter to protect the remainder of your 60,000 drive-train warranty. I can't believe getting your oil changed at a Toyota dealer is any more expensive than in Up State NY. $23.00. I carry in my own engine oil because they don't always have Mobil 1.
If it a cost issue learn to change it yourself.The Camry 4 cyl. motor is extremely easy to do. Everything is in the open.

Walmart. I know it might sound silly but they only do oil changes and tires. They won't try to mess with anything else so you'll have piece of mind that there not going to mess with you or your car. Like for example "oh, come here you need this replaced it's going to go out soon, that'll be $800.00 and some change". or "hey other mechanic lets mess this up so they'll come back and will milk them for more money. ha ha ha!"
Those are just a couple there are plenty more and way too much to list.
Besides if Walmart does mess up anything they'll pay for it to get fixed. Although you may think it's silly to go there for an oil change it's not. Their actually specialist in oil change and tires because that's all they do! They don't do any other repairs and you can even watch them do it from the lobby. The only down fall is you may have to wait a while. Walmart makes sure you have plenty of time shopping while you wait and also they want to make sure most of the oil gets down to the oil pan before changing. ( Don't want to leave any of the dirty oil in your car)
Best of Luck!

The service required mild comes on each 5000 miles. It means which you may desire to have the oil replaced or that once somebody replaced the oil they did no longer reset the mild. it relatively is reset by utilising pushing the trip odometer button with the odometer no longer on between the trip settings and turning the important on with out beginning the engine. you will see a sequence of dashes on the odometer start to flash and whilst it shows all zeros it relatively is reset. sellers many times value greater yet are particularly much less probable to sell you what you do no longer want. If the transmission fluid and coolant are grimy, they might desire to get replaced by utilising this time. you have gotten the brakes getting low too. examine the air and cabin filters additionally.
