Being Overdue for a Service!

No no, I get you. There’s a muppet that roams around this forum that claims that if you don’t service your own car, then you can’t be taken seriously. All talk no action. Whatever that means ...

I didnt even have to mention your name, but you came crawling out of that shyte hole defending yourself.

I don't have it in for you, but within context , I replied to OP, if he doesn't service his own vehicle then he/we cant be taken seriously, and we are all talk and no action ( whatever the fvck that means [all talk no action] , please elaborate).

You sir, put the uppet in muppet.

Toyota service? Run your engine for ten minutes to warm up the oil. Switch off, get under the hood and loosen the sump plug and let the oil drain out (usually 10-15 mins).
During that time, locate the oil filter (looks like a fat zumasepoes stumpy dildo).
Dump in new oil. I use 10W40 and have a preference for Magnatec because of hot local conditions and the fact that my ride is over 100 000km.
Oil change usually takes most of a 5L bottle. Next thing is inspect the air filter and cartridge filter if the ride has one. I replace those every other service. Check the inline or removable fuel filter (it looks like a fat plastic stump). If it looks a bit naar, take that out as well and chuck in a new one. Entire operation should take you less than 4 hours from start to finish.

4 Hours?

You don't know what you're doing or you drink a dozen beers before you start?

Put back the sump plug.

Uhmm, missed a step.
 
Condolences, morty!

You will be fine, especially since the oil is new, and by this being the 3rd service this year, I guess most of it is long distance traveling.

Many of the modern cars don't measure service intervals in miles, but rather fuel used+time limit. So if you drive long distance, the service intervals automatically moves out in terms of distance traveled.
 
The Chariot drove 13 hours solid from Gordons Bay to Potch, through sporadic rain in the Karoo, torrents in Kimberley , managed to drive over one of those lumps of rubber that trucks like leaving on the road, helluva thump at 130km an hour, but all good...

I love me Toyota...... Service booked and ready for early in the morn...
