Oil & Filter change cost

score

Hi

I wanted to know how luch roughly it should cost to get a oil & filter change done.

I am refurring to local garages not the main dealerships.

Also how oftern should you get it down. I have been told 6 months by someone then 1 year and now 2 years.

So a bit confused

Thanks

It will depend on your car make/model, what does your car service/handbook suggest?

Get the oil £25 and filter £6 yourself and it's around £15-£20 labour.

get my oil from asda 14quid for 5ltrs of semi synthetic and oil filter off ebay 2-3 quid and do it myself. half an hour tops to do it. do mine every 12 mths because i only do low miles.

Some fast-fits do oil and filter changes for £25-30. KF and National Tyres being two.

I posted about this very recently.

I just had mine done at National for £31 with Magnatec. The price seems to vary with the amount of oil required, although Kwik Fit appears to offer a fixed price of £29 (£39 for Mobil 1).

Depends how much you trust these places really. I don't think there's that much they can really get wrong, and I don't mind paying £10 or so above the cost of oil and a filter to avoid getting messy myself.
