    I’m out of the trade now and any work I do is on our cars or mates and always free.

    I do most of my hilux basic servicing myself. Oil change is a genuine Toyota filter and sump plug gasket for $30 and I brought 20L of Mobil Delvac for $160. 5.8L per change makes a full oil change $75 and about 45 minutes of my time. Waste oil is free to drop off at the local transfer station.
    Air filter and cabin filter changes are simple. Driveline greasing and diff oil aren't hard.
    It goes to the shop for transmission and radiator flushes etc.
