Hi all,

Anyone else noticed oil and filter change prices going up at the garage ? I used to pay about £35 for the previous few years and it’s more like £45 this year.

Groupon seems to be a good place to get offers ?

Cheers.

    At that price he's probably just using cooking oil! ��

    You can BUY decent fully synthetic oil for under £20 but OP is suggesting that he used to get oil, filter and labour for £35 ..
    so the oil can't have been very good.

    Nothing wrong with that. An Almera thrives on the stuff.
