    Nice video! I’m an older woman and am taking my 2002 4Runner for a full synthetic oil change. I wanted to see details of an oil change, since they may rush my vehicle through and not give it the care it needs, such as draining the old oil completely, replacing the oil drain plug gasket, pre-filling the oil filter. Thank you!

I'm in recovery with 22 months clean. I messed my life up while using. I lost everything including my kids. Since getting clean, I've regained custody of them and held down continuous employment. Owning my own vehicle would make my day-to-day activities much more doable.
