My car isn't so fussy on the oil so I stock up when I find decent oil cheap. Still cheaper than getting oil changed elsewhere at the above prices.

Castrol Magnatec is mineral oil.

In other words, cheap !!!!!. Avoid.

Not as it states in my Haynes Manual - states V6 = 4.5 litres, think I should know after owning one for 3 years!

Either you or the manual is wrong,i've owed 3 V6 lumps over the past 10yrs,each engine has taken 6.5 litres each oil change.

Looking on the web, and in fact you are wrong and so I am, and the manual.

It takes 5.5 litres and this can be confirmed here:

My mate went to a National garage once in view of a cheap oil & filter change. They turned him away basically saying that they make no money from it and that it's a waste of their fitters time as they could be doing more profitable sales in the time it takes. They just weren't interested.

But I suppose if you book and pay online then they can't turn you away.

So in other words, Failing to provide a service they state to offer?

Sounds about right for some big yob run business

Yep, they basically gave him the brush off as they knew they had better paying customers coming along as it was a busy Saturday morning.
