yea but I need to look into that.
my car was sold to me with a service done a few months before at 37K miles so my question is: will I still need the full Oil Service?

Check with the dealer when you book the service that they'll let you provide your own oil - I had a dealer refuse to do the service if I supplied the oil.

The other point is make sure it's fresh unopened cans of oil you supply - otherwise they'll refuse to use it.
