Kwik Fit oil change
« on: 25 September 2008, 22:29:35 »
 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.

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 !!

Dusty - Reasonable price for getting oil change. Assuming ShitFit did it properly.


Tunnie - oil around £12 and filter around £4 on TC

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

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. :-* :-* :-*
