I got scion to do my very 1st oil change but they washed my car when I asked them not too so I don't even trust them to do that anymore

When I did my 2nd change I switched my oil pan bolt for a quikvalve so now I do all my changes myself and its all about 10 mins of work now

you can get any shop to do it for you only thing is most will charge you a flat hr labour rate which sucks

How's the quikvalve? Did you get the short nipple version and are there any clearance issues?

Someone tried to steal your emblems?!?!!

Did you see someone try to pry off your emblems while you were walking to your car and said "Hey! WTF are you doing?!" LOL.

I got the no nipple just flush. Clearance is fine no issues even if you lower it. I don't think it is the same with the nipple version tho as that extends a lot more downwards

Happened at Metro when the car was brand brand new I was walking up and noticed someone looking really closely to my emblems yelled out "you want a tour?" and they guy bolted so I thought that was weird then noticed a bunch of screw drivers marks all around my front emblem and that it was lifted off the bumper...

@scioneric alcantara interior?

I would honestly just install my TRD spoiler with 3M tape. make it easier on you and no holes needed

Don't expect the whole interior.....Just part of it. Will Pick those up coming Saturday in Blaine. Still don't know which to go Visconti or Perrin(Tune).

$171 for the type "A" servicing. I think I'm going to do all my oil changes myself in the future, thank you very much.

$171?!? What do they do in the type A service? Is the cost high because of the synthetic oil?

It's the flat rate labour... $100 I think it was... So bull.

lol oil change using a genuine toyota/subaru oil filter and 0W20 synthetic oil is like $60 or $65 at my dealer... not expensive at all...

ps... because i love you all, i've posted the fluid data for the FR-S... if i get any official requests to move it (from scion/toyota/subaru), i will be taking this down...

That's crazy, all that for an oil change?

Would Regency service BRZs? I always had my Acura serviced at Honda dealerships.

Regency will service your car if you want no problem!

$100 flat labour rate is pretty standard across the board. I have found tho that Gearheads only charges a $80 labour rate :happy0180:

Make sure you guys replace your crush washers when doing your oil changes!
