2022 model year Venza in Canada will not be offered in coastal grey with grey "leather" interior combo. No side "hybrid" emblems either. I feel my ride has appreciated, to me anyways

Good prices on oem parts. Their shipping is too high but there is a local pickup option.

8000 km oil change Jan 12, 2022

That green handle at the back is a Wera 10mm nut driver specifically acquired for the procedure

Just added a P/N for the air filter of the traction battery (Post #1)

Also, among things I find useful and of high quality:

They go on sale once in awhile.

Where's the filter on these? Under or up top?

It's under and by the oil pan. Easy to reach. The filter goes in horizontally so it's not too messy to replace. Going to add the wrench I'm using to the first post.
"CTA Tools 2485 64mm Oil Filter Wrench" it's available through one popular online retailer.

It appears very well made.

An oil and filter change this past weekend. 16,000 km. No oil consumption.

Penzoil replacement?

Got a few things for an annual maintenance: engine air filter, traction battery air filter, wiper inserts.

Nice!

Thanks

A milestone yesterday, albeit a small one:

EV Dan · « **Reply #33 on:** October 01, 2022, 07:41:23 pm »

Did a 24,000 km oil change this afternoon, I'm sticking with an 8k interval. Nothing else to report. No oil consumption, nothing suspicious in the oil itself. Seasonal wheel swap is coming soon.

I'm disappointed this is still not a Venza-Urus.

EV Dan · « **Reply #35 on:** February 20, 2023, 08:24:27 pm »

32,000 oil change yesterday. Toyotas are boring - nothing unusual to report

Toyotas sure are boring

My parents ordered a Coastal Grey XLE last month, MSRP, no fees. Dealer said it will be a year wait. I wish they still offered the brown interior.

Yup, it would definitely suck to get in an accident, have it written off, and only have a week with a rental to make a choice.

So how does doing your own oil changes etc work with warranty coverage?
