Had an oil and filter change done at kwik Fit yesterday.
They checked all tyres ,lights etc first.
I have no idea how much oil she takes but total cost was £25. (2.6)
The oil was Mobil semi synthetic plus a filter.
good value or not.?. :-* :-* :-*
-
Not bad at all.
-
i would not take mine to kwikfit :-X
Oil change on mine is around £11
Current price for 5L of GM Semi Synth is around £10, oil filter is a £1 (GM)
I also clean the breathers at the same time.

Is that TC price. Would have thought £25+ for the oil.
-
On TC .. 4 for the price of 3 .. you get 20 litres of oil for about £30 ... about the same price as 5 litres at full retail !!
-
£25 may cost more than the oil and filter....but this way Dusty dosen't chip her nail polish. ;D ;D :y
-
Dusty - Reasonable price for getting oil change. Assuming ShitFit did it properly.
Tunnie - oil around £12 and filter around £4 on TC
-
The trouble is that the sump bolt and filter cap will now be tightened to 100Nm!

Yes it is. TC price is a shade under £4 + VAT for this filter. Not that you would know seeing as you never bought one, and nicked my spare ;D

I have a box of 20 of them in the garage (down to around 12 now)... I am sure i only paid £20 something for the box :-/

Compared to here, cheapo.. if you use Mobil 1 10-40 60 £,
if GM 10-40 approx 40 £ for 6 liters

The young lad who did the oil change mentioned that I may have trouble removing the sump plug in future as it was worn and he therefore had problems fittng his spanner on it............is this a common problem. :-* :-* :-*
-
yup.....when changed by muppets!
just buy an new one next time you are at Vauxhall, ready for next time.

What he obviously meant was, that due to using the wrong size Torx or a similar sized Allen key, he's mullered the middle of the sump plug while tightening up to some silly ft/lb torque! >:(

How much is a new sump plug from this forum ...........Quick Fit said about £28 for one....is that correct. :-* :-*
-
knock the 8 off the end and you are in the ball park!
-
£28 for a frigging sump bolt!!!
£3 max !
-
knock the 8 off the end and you are in the ball park!
You do mean leaving just £2 ..... not £20? ::)
I could do with one for the Astra, the thread's iffy. I do have a new Torx type ....... somewhere :-[

Perhaps I should have asked Mr Dusty to take the car in.
Perhaps it's £28 to a woman but much less to a man. :'( :-*

personally i would not trust kwik fit to do anything on my car, they 'invent' work that 'needs' doing.

They try it on with everyone Dusty!
Many many years ago I took a Pug 306 in to get new tyres, the lad taking the tyres off called me over to inform me that I needed new front discs as they were very hot and had developed a lip round the outside (1mm at the most). Told me it was dangerous for them to get that hot and they should wear evenly across the whole surface. Luckily enough they could do it that afternoon for me too.
Brakes getting hot, what a ridiculous idea!!

Indeed - MR2 exhaust - heat shield was awkward so they just took that off >:( Meant anything in the boot got cooked. Wasn't happy about that one...

Yes Dusty that can certainly be the case, especially in my experience with those damn people Kwik Fitup, and you have to hold your ground making it clear you are taking no nonense.
First, just stay well clear of them as they are guaranteed to damage your car eventually, as I suspect they have done already with that sump bolt..........£28 indeed.........to put right what they have done wrong rather robbing, ineffecience, useless people!!
That's how they make their profits; do a simple job like an oil change then make sure you need an expensive repair!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Argggggggggggggggggggggggggg >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:(
Stop it Lizzie, I am ranting again about these people who have done so much damaged to our cars in the past!!! >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:(
No good for my health. ;)

They must have seen me coming Lizzie.....Trouble is, if I ask Mr Dusty to do it for me, he says that women can't do anything without the aid of men.
He may well post something about this in future knowing him. :-* :-*

Yes wonderful idea Dusty, but the poor souls would then feel quite lost not being able to show us women "how it is done", ie showing off, and "enjoying" the fantasies we create for them! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;)
You, me, Kate, Debs, Ljay and others give them the feminine company / mothering they really do need and enjoy along with holding their natural macho thoughts in check, and of course they enjoy the odd good cat fight that we create from time to time! :D :D ;) That is good for their health. 8-) 8-) 8-) ;D ;D ;)

I'll bet a left gonad that you didn't buy 20 GM cartridge type filters for around £20. Never in a month of Sundays. TC price is around £4 + VAT each, so at best, 20 will be £60-£70...
...and added to that, seeing as you only have 1 car that takes cartridge type filters, you wouldn't buy that many anyway.

I have 2 cars that take it ;)
I would have remembered paying £60 for a load of filters :o
I remember buying 4 for 3 on oil and a box of 20 filters... the bill was £50 something!

Its the spinny ones not the filter ones i was on about... 2.5V6 took spinny ones i thought?

Some 2.5s take spin-ons/canisters. But Dusty's 2.6 will definately take paper element/cartridge type.
Hence my left gonad remains in tact....

I like to see what the kids at QF are doing (damge) to my fine car.
The oil filter was small and not a large cannister like I have seen on other cars I have owned.
Looking from the front it was on the right hand side of the engine. (I know you know but I had not seen before.)
I must admit that at QF you get this feeling that the young people there are learning on the job......on my car. :-* :-* :-*

Yup, small cylinder of paper. Paper element fiilters were standard from around 1999 on v6 Omegas.

I'm actually impressed- well, no, wrong word - that they took the sump plug out and didn't just suck the oil out through the dipstick hole.
Anyway, what about naked engine oil wrestling? :-*
Clean, used or, for the really dirty, tractor. :o

Just checked as well, Dusty has a 2.6, for some reason I thought it was a 2.5. :y

All V6's from around 1999 (so includes later prefacelifts, and early facelifts which are 2.5/3.0) take the expensive paper element filter.

Get up to speed Skruntie ...I used to own a 2.5 but sold it ages ago.
Too much time spent with Angelina that's your trouble... ;D ;D :-* :-*

All V6's from around 1999 (so includes later prefacelifts, and early facelifts which are 2.5/3.0) take the expensive paper element filter.
Better check both of mine before buying filters then. Just assumed they would have been the cheap ones. Both cars are 99 2.5 (V) anf the 3.0 (T)
