    An oil and filter change is around £20-30 at the chain places. They offer them as loss leaders to get bums on seats. The oil alone would cost about the same, and it saves getting your hands dirty :)

    Got to agree with you there mate.These oil changes are a loss leader and well worth doing. However they will fill you with tales of gloom about your car just to try and churn a bit of work. Ignore anything they tell you (except to check out yourself!) and insist just on the oil change.
