The Toyota manual recommends 5000 miles oil changes and not much else for
the first 100000. 80000 would be 16 changes. At a little less than 4 quarts
of oil and a $6 Swix filter, lets say $20, that does beat $5000 by a lot.

The first two years of maintenance are included. But the oil changes
after that will be about $50 because they require synthetic oil. If you
do it yourself then $35 is about right. Avoid Wix filters at all costs.
Use OEM filters. Never heard of Swix filters, Swix is a ski wax. Toyota
filters go on sale often for $3.
