As I've booked a service plan service end of this month.
What do garages do when oil change is included with service plan though dashboard states oil change due every two years with one year to next oil change.
I by habit prefer oil and filter to be changed every year.

    a) why not ask them - we've no idea on your car/oil

    b) If you prefer every year then the MSE way is to di it yourself (or at least provide oil/filter to dealer and ask if they'll do it for you) - obviously the cheaper the dealer labour costs the better - refer back to point a)

    So you've forgotten to ask those who can give you a real answer twice but have time to come on here and ask abunch of strangers


    Your dealer isn't going to magically change your oil at their cost outside of the scheduled (and costed) service plan. If you want it doing for your peace of mind it's going to cost you

    Service today -Service Plan 1st of two year plan.
    Pleased as oil was changed.
    Only service advisory was AirCon re gas -which I plane too save 109-149 dependent on which gas is used.
    Though since googled and seems AirCon isn't mot fail whilst I work towards late Sept.
    Is AirCon service/re gas worth while as I don't often use it.

    If the air blows cold (like fridge cold) and doesn't smell bad, don't bother. Make sure you do use it every month or so, as it helps lubricate/protect seals in the system.

    Thanks it has been working fine since purchase start of 2019.
    Though maybe I could save up and get it re gassed in a month or two.

    When do I know if the gas has run out,
