£80 for a 182 oil change

[raf182]

Asked at dealer today regarding oil&filter change for the 182, as it was just after closing I wasnt given an official price but £80..thats surely a bit steep is it not?!

 

[Phil 99]

how about having a go yourself?

Sounds way over the top

 

[Pete]

Will cost you £60 for decent oil, £7 for filter £1.50 for sump plug washer, doesnt seam to bad now does it!

 

[Lee]

I think I paid £78 for it on my 172 at 6k miles.

 

[raf182]

Ouch...

Must be about right then, Ive always expected about £40 or maybe £50!

guess we live and learn..

 

[Jim172CUP]

Sixty notes for oil!!!! I dont think so, it doesnt need ten litres does it?

 

[182_blue]

that makes my old ford oil change look v cheap, ford only charged me £25

 

[Lee]

Just found my invoice out.

Labour: £25.00
Disposal of oil: £4.18
Washer: 82p
1/2 litre of oil x 9 £2.46 each - £22.14
Oil Filter: £5.98

Total: £58.12
VAT: £10.17
Total: 68.29

supply your own oil, then you know whats going in (unless they put their own in anyway, wouldnt put it past them) then you know what to top up with and its decent stuff going in.

Changed my 182 oil myself @ 6k.... dealer quoted me about £60 all inc, with Magnatec....

So I asked for a filter, got the oil... and did it myself... All for under £30 (beware, magnatec comes in 4.5 ltr jug, but Clio requires 4.8 ltr oil... so buy a 1ltr top up kit at the same time)

 

[Liam]

how you finding the magnetec, as some dont rate it that high.

 

[Matty]

National Tyres do semi sythetic Duchams and filter for 15 quid and BP fully synthetic Verso or Visco 700 for 25 quid. They may have trouble getting filters for new cars but still worth 25 quid and supplying your own filter. Or do yourself if you dont mind getting your hands dirty (I woouldnt as it costs more) with some oil from Halfords and a filter. Halfords have had their own oil and Castrol RS half price recently.

 

[S2 PTH]

was gonna say! u dont need an oil change yet! thought by the title that ud already had one!

 

[raf182]

Not at that bloody price!!

Was just asking for future ref, have to start saving you see

 

[Fred@BTM]

[Big Iain]

I know where Im going at 6k.

 

[Jools182]

Got mine done at an AA service centre for £27. That included GTX Magatic.

 

[Yugguy]

Yep, I got my 172 done for about that at an AA service centre.



80 quid is a joke.

 

[riplash]

National Tyres are great, like Matty says you can have Oil and Filter included in the price for £15-25.

I wouldnt go anywhere else really.. whats the point?

They cant really get it wrong.

 

[Fred@BTM]

and you get a laugh watching the bloke trying to figure out how to get the filter out!!!!

Can i have a go at your arse please, ill only charge half of that!!!

Seriously though, V6 Mk2 oil change at Wests Bedford cost me £70-12p last week, and there is more labour involved in doing the vee as appossed to a 172/182, so not sure why they want £80???
