The scam at the Toyota dealer's is to 'suggest' that every auto be serviced

other additives that are routinely added, unless they're told up front not
to do it.

I'm very careful to tell them I want the 'book' service when I go in.

I give up. What the hell is friction proofer?

Some additive the Toyota folks sell. Hell, I don't know what it is! I just
tell them I don't want it.
