I don't feel good about their prices. Is the dealer a good place to go for oil changes on hybrid vehicles? What about your friendly neighborhood garage? Would it be better to just go there? Are oil changes on hybrids standard, just like they are for non-hybrid vehicles?
How does all this affect the warrantee on the vehicle? Can I go to my regular repair man, not associated with Toyota, and have him change the oil on my hybrid at a better price? Would the warrantee still be in tact?

You can have anyone change the oil. It does not require the dealer. I have been going to the dealer but I have been very specific. I tell them I want only an oil change. I supply my own oil. They have been charging me $25 to change the oil. What is nice, is that they also check all the other things that go with a normal service and charge only for the oil. As far as I can determine, the oil change is the only thing you need to keep the car under warantee for the first 30,000 miles.
