For that price you might as well get a service done at the dealer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As in two DIY oil changes. Your dealer price is for one oil change. Buy in bulk and you save. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
percha 89 Report post Posted August 7, 2020 Yes I have the same offer for dealership oil change, just fancied doing it myself. Thanks for the link, I may go that route, its just storing that drum and shelf life as I work from home, I don't really do that many miles. But... I can also use that for my wife's F20 116d!

I just bought 5 litres oil and filter from them for £70 including postage for my 10k change. I find them really helpful and reasonably priced. The chap I deal with was busy and thought could try the local dealership who quoted £122 for over the counter sale. Whilst we are on the subject people who do 10k changes are you changing the filter aswell or just oil? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Oilburner 151 Report post Posted August 9, 2020 I personally change the oil filter at the same time as the oil at 10k. I recently got a good deal 17% off from carpartsforless 5 ltrs Shell Helix ECT C3 5w 30 incl Mann oil filter and free delivery £ 46.06 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've been changing my filter and oil at the same time, round about 10000 miles. For the cost of a new filter it just seems silly to put clean oil through a dirty filter. When ordering parts from Autodoc I sometimes add an oil filter or two to my order to bump the price up above the threshold for free postage. IIRC their Mahle filters are around £12 and the postage cost for orders under £150 is £8.95. My last filter effectively cost about £4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
