Oil and filter change at 10,000 miles


Recommended Posts

Just make sure the oil is VW507.00.

 

If it is cheap then great, if it is too cheap go in with your eyes open.

 

This place does the Superbs belonging to our taxi base boss, about 8 of them, and has done for several years, so i think it should be good

I think main dealer service was the right option. You never know when you need to call in the dealer goodwill card - normally when you're one month out of warranty, and the car goes into limp mode.

Hang on a sec....£100 for oil and filter only? That seems crazy money (although I totally understand the peace of mind a dealer supplied service might bring). I thought the £66 was a little steep  :notme:

 

I'm out of touch. A filter is between £8 and £10 but I can see from a quick google search that in the UK the oil is actually quite pricey.

 

In Switzerland they charge stupid money at the dealers for an oil change (240chf, approx. £160) so I will nip over to France and get it done at a specialist oil service place (Midas) for £50. 

 

They will also do a full service on the 3.6 - air filter if i wanted it but she has a K&N, 6xplugs, oil and filter, DSG box oil change (filter extra), electronic check-up and 76 point 'check' - for €223 or £157 all in. Its all warrantied too apparently  :sweat: (preserves the original VAG constructor guarantee) so no hassle with any original warranty etc. 

 

In theory....

Im with you, id even DIY it, oil £25, filter £10, but for now, ill swallow it, Citroen never questioned my warranty requests (monthly) even though they never touched it for service again

I had my 60 k service ( with new fuel filter) at my local non skoda garage and they charged £130, I asked him to check brakes and put new pads in if it needed them but they said the pads were ok which is great
