Oil change service-How much should I be paying?
- Thread starter Scruffy
- Start date
£150 -£200
The last one I had at my local Indy was about £150. My interim oil and filter change that I do myself costs about £80 to do.
Oil change or not?
12 months since last oil change but just under 2000 miles since. Would you change or not? Total 11,000 from new,T6 102ps , very little use during lock down period. Change the bikes annually but they only take just over a litre so not costly.
Just booked mine in at the local Indy end of August (first date they can fit a full day in) for a full service, investigate/fix oil round drive shaft, sort leaking crank pulley oil seal and do a (not needed) cam belt and water pump replacement and investigate intermittent coil light/replace oil pressure switches as necessary.
Not sure what it will cost, but it will be a damn site cheaper than VW.

Just had a main service at 55k miles.. price of the oil alone was £186.85 
I rang them up as i presumed (wrongly) this must be a mistake. I asked why their oil is so expensive? Their response "its not the dealers its the bosses above who make the call on price " This 5w30 Long life oil is £25.25 per litre 
and i needed 7.4ltrs. This was a main dealer but like others i will now move to an independent.

3-30w FS £48.89 for 5L
so just under £100 for 10L
so if you buy 10L and use 7.5L it will cost you - about £74

Jesus. I got 4 litres of Castrol Edge from the Castrol eBay shop recently.
It’s currently £31.49 including delivery. 2 bottles and an oil filter is £80. And VW won’t be paying our retail price getting 200litre drums. And they use a cheaper oil brand anyway.
And they wonder why no sane person uses them once their warranty expires.

I found a place online doing 507 spec oil in 20L drums for less than £55 delivered in a sale. Thats enough, just (I also have some Volvo oil that meets 507 spec if I need a smidge more), for three services.
I dont really want to be doing it myself at my age but VW dealerships make Volvo dealers seem like a charity in comparison and its an easy enough job on a 'sporter, so sod it. Money talks, Sasquatch walks.
