Trouble with big cars are they are expensive....
Always get told that running a "big car" will be expensive
 Serviced the car over the weekend, Bosch spark plugs plus air and cabin filters all came in at £40. Fitted them myself and then today the car went into a local specialist for an oil service. He charged £86 all in so not bad really for everything at £126.

What oil did they use?
I'm sure an oil change on mine costs well over £100 for the oil alone.

Quote:
£100 for oil alone sounds a touch over the top to me. I'd be more than happy to do oil and filter change with genuine parts for £100, and i'll make you a cuppa and a bacon sarnie while you wait. Quote:
these things are easy to service yourself and should be no more expensive because they're big.
