Great value considering it’s that much just for just one oil service at the main stealers!... bargain
Decent price that! Shame I bought 12 litres before Christmas to see me through a few changes! An oil change is about £140 at my dealer, about £70 in oil and filter costs, so I don’t think it’s too badly priced for their labour and a bit of profit.
£140 doesn't sound bad and worth a stamp in the service book if someone needs it. I usually keep vehicles for couple years, so for me it makes more sense to do it myself (for roughly £40). My personal issue with dealers is that I don't really believe in their honesty and it's based on my experience with them: - MINI overfilled engine oil and charged for pollen filter which they didn't change. - VOLVO recommended indy put semi-synthetic oil into my old volvo (against recommendations) and the car was consuming it quicker than fuel.
I agree mate, but do hold a bike dealer in slightly higher regard than a car main dealer with 10x the staff. I’m very happy with the service from mine and I’ve got a long coloured history of hating main dealers including an Ombudsman ruling in my favour! I’m fairly hard to please! All that said I do interim changes myself too as I get 2 for 1 price wise.

Bearing in mind the amount of oil and cost of 2 sump plugs (£17.74/pair) the £70 for oil and filter on a bike doesn't sound that cheap, about 4.5 ltrs of oil tops? but probably a normal dealer price. Glad I do my own bike servicing.

I certainly pay more than £170 for my V12 jag to have an oil change, are you using olive oil?!

Yes, bought DB7 Vantage a few weeks back.
