OK having only had the car a couple of months I am some way from it's first service. I have however already had to input the 1l bottle of oil that came with the car. It does say in the manual that the car would use more oil during the first 5000km, so I was just surfing the web looking to get another couple 1l bottles. Got a little bit of a shock at what some places are trying to charge for 1l of oil :shock:

The car is currently on the long life service plan but I'll be looking to change that once 12 months is up, I don't do a lot of miles maybe 5-6k annually but don't like the idea of the long life on a performance V10. Or do you think I'd be wasting my money servicing annually? Also I'm I write in thinking the following oil in the add will be fine for annual services?

This is the same as the 1l bottle supplied, should I snap this up, it seems reasonable even with delivery?
