Inspection V Oil change

Hi all,

I just wondered how long over you can go over on an oil change.

I had a message pop up stating oil change in 1500 miles/29 days but the first inspection is in 3500 miles/95 days. I have been quoted the oil change for £431 and service (inc. oil change) £625. If I do it separately it will be £722.

I don't see the point in paying for an oil change twice in 3 months but if I service it early does that mean I will need to get its next service 3 months earlier next year?

Thanks in advance.

No just do both at same time then they will reset the counter. I did this last year had inspection which was due few thousand miles after oil service.

When would you recommend to do this?

Now or in three months?

You should change oil every 15000 km

Sounds pricey, assume under 3 years old?

Inspection on mine in June at 2 years = £260.

Oil change - supply your own oil (£80 from Opie for 10 liters of Shell Helix 0W 30) and just pay for the labour and filters (£140ish).

Should be looking at £480 ish total.

This is for oil change and pollen filters only (I think)

Car is 20 months old on 15k miles, this is the first service.

I called 6 dealers in the north west and this was the cheapest, all others close to £600 or over.
