Don't do it. Find a different dealer, if the worse does happen you will have zero comeback.classba wrote:Car booked in for the oil service after the New year but the stealer wants me to sign a disclaimer to say that I've provided my own oil just incase something goes wrong with the engine afterwards so they won't be liable for it. Is this normal practice from them?.
Long life oil service

Re: Long life oil service
Thanks for the advice guys. That's what I was thinking so if they fcuk the oil change upfor any reasons, they will just put their hands up and blame me...
I might as well go to a specialist to do the work knowing it will be done properly and I can overlook the work. The Audi stamp is not worth getting ripped off and no come backs if the worst happens.
I don't have warranty so the yearly oil change is not going to matter much TBO. Unless, I find another stealer that will allow me to use my own oil and not wanting me to sign a disclaimer then I'll go specialist.

Re: Long life oil service
My dealer pulled his face when I first took my own oil I replied by telling him I can get the same oil castrol powerflow longlife 3 for £3 a litre why would I pay £15 a litre he was stuck for words he doesn't even bother opening his mouth now
Re: Long life oil service
I have mine booked in today (met a fellow C6'er in the car park !) but the service guy insisted on charging me for 10 litres - I provided 8 as per everyone's advice
Where's the other two litres going ? Is he having me over ? Its not as if the amount can vary - it's either 8 litres or 10 !
Can anyone help before I collect later

The very max is 8 lts. Don't let them pull one over you.rushey wrote:I have mine booked in today (met a fellow C6'er in the car park !) but the service guy insisted on charging me for 10 litres - I provided 8 as per everyone's advice

Re: Long life oil service
the car takes 8lts, but i was asked to supply ten (and got the odd back at the end of the day) - think its to cover spilages and what not. Besides, with these engines, i've found its good to have some handy for a top up now and then.
Re: Long life oil service
Cheers, I am not being charged extra for them being clumsy and spilling loads ! Should be an interesting conversation when I collect later
Classba, I didn't have to sign a disclaimer either, they never mentioned it

Re: Long life oil service
That's great. I had my oil change with an independent in the end and was able to watch the whole process which was interesting.rushey wrote:Cheers, I am not being charged extra for them being clumsy and spilling loads ! Should be an interesting conversation when I collect later![]()
