Oil change with 6 litres of oil and filter £13.50
Discussion
I am in the States and I just watched a tv advert from our equivalent of KwikFit, ATS etc.
Oil change with 6 litres of oil, new oil filter and all tyres rotated for $19.99
The quality of the oil will be low, but there his the option to upgrade to better quality oils.
This is crazy cheap isn't it?

Not cheap when you go to have the oil changed again and find out the drain plug was stripped and can't be removed as has been the case with a few Porsche owners who used one of these.
I used one -- desperate the car needed an oil/filter service in a big hurry -- and even watched the process -- thought it a good idea when I had to tell the tech where the engine was when he standing under the front of my Boxster looking for the oil pan drain plug -- and the next time I had the car in to a dealer for an oil/filter service teh tech found the drain plug nearly stripped. He managed to get tool bit hammered in and remove the plug and luckily he had a spare in his tool box he loaned me until a new one I ordered came in.
Tried this place -- before I took the Boxster in and found the drain plug bunged up -- with another car -- front engine this time to make it easier on the tech -- and had a heck of a time talking him out of overtightening the drain plug. Corporate policy called for so many foot pounds of torque and the amount wanted to use was over what the automaker specified for the car.
Never again. I don't care if the service was free and this included the best damn oil in the world.

For shame, Edwin! Could have just got Vixpy to do it at your RR, no?Gassing Station | Porsche General | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
