No, didn't get time at the weekend. I was hoping to not have to jack it up more then once.

Couldn't see a way to edit my post to change saint to saying!

Am I right in Saint that the oil is emptied using a flat head screwdriver? Therefore I don't have to take off the undertray or purchase a sump plug? Thanks David

Thanks, that's really useful info. It's a 1.4 and I'll check for the label in the engine bay tonight. I suppose what I really am trying to find out is why does the manual say 'Only top up with maximum 0.5l of oil and take it to a dealer for a full change?' Also what size socket etc do I use for sump plug, please? It'll save me putting it on the ramps just to check. David (yes I'm in Moray)

H1ello, My 2018 petrol Kodiaq is due an oil change soon and I'm going to do it myself. I just want to make sure I'm not gone to damage the engine if I use normal synthetic 5w-30. The manual suggests I only take it to a dealer for 'special' oil but this sounds like a scare tactic to make me pay more. I doubt that my local mechanic had been using anything special in previous oil changes. If anyone can help me I'll be grateful. Thanks David
