ANY FOOL CAN PAY £276 FOR AN ENGINE OIL CHANGE - AND SOME DO… It takes about 20 minutes to change the oil in most vehicles. If you own a BMW 528 a London dealership will charge you £276 for an oil change. Audi, Jaguar and Mercedes owners will be lucky to see change out of £200. Some Ford and Renault owners could be left crying in reception too; and if it’s a Japanese vehicle, don’t forget your credit card. Dealers should always supply the recommended specification of oil for your vehicle. The problem is the customer does not see the oil going into the engine to be sure of the specification supplied. One answer is to buy the very best engine oil and do the job yourself at a fraction of the garage cost. Mail order specialist Carparts-direct.co.uk claim they can provide the latest grade and specification of fully synthetic engine oil that is recommended for most top of the range performance vehicles at 70% less than most dealers charge - Five litres of Optima fully synthetic performance engine oil costs £23.44 compared to £88.15 for the equivalent oil at say, for example, a Mercedes dealer. A kit has been developed to encourage motorists to carry out their own engine oil changes and other basic tasks, such as brake pad and disc replacement. The kit is designed to allow a motorist to change their own engine oil quickly, safely and save a small fortune at the same time. Included in the ‘Complete under the car kit’ is a 2-ton trolley jack, a pair of axle stands, wheel chocks and a fully padded car creeper to slide under the vehicle in comfort. There’s a chain oil filter wrench and a container for catching your old engine Oil. There’s even a magnetic dish to prevent loosing any bits and a four way wheel brace to remove wheels quickly to check the brakes. The ‘Complete under the car kit’ costs £99. Customers can order the latest fully synthetic performance engine oil at the same time for £23.44 and a free oil filter will be added to the order.
