Yeah Coco thats exactly it just take 3 bottles with you..............there would be a small amount left which could be used for topping up if needed eh
Most dealers seem to charge between £52 & £62 just for the oil and you don,t know what they have put in as a number of forum members will tell you..............the price quoted above of £33 is the exception to the rule I would question what they have put in myself.

Golf Mk6 Oil Burner
At the end of the day you are paying for the reno stamp so its more appealing to a buyer (thats what i reckon).
Its says they changed my air filter on my bill. I am going to check it tonight as the old one only did about 4k miles and was fairly clean (had a piperx for a while).
If they didnt change it where do i stand?
Full Fat 182 - Was..
im already stocked up on oil reday for them to stitch me up good an propper!
What other oil would be good in the 182 aparty from elf stuff? would GTX magnatec or Mobile or shell be ok? ( the high performance types )
What is the best oil for performance cars interms or frictyion reduction, cooling and engine wear??
Zim would like to know

Dont think im too bothered about the oil as it will get changed every 6k anyway.
Will be seriously pi**ed off it they have changed the air filter. When i put it back in I put a small mark on it so i would know
Can someone break down £165 for me though. I know £33 was the oil and approx £20 for the air filter (assuming the sales guy wasnt telling me porkies). Are you talking £100 labour charge?
Maurice £33 for oil is cheap by Reno standards.........you may well find it increases the next time.
If oil is bought in bulk ie 24lts it works out at less than £12 per oil change so even at £33 you would be saving more than £21 EVERY time the oil is changed and most of all you will know that the correct oil is being used
Just a thought.

Pink/Blue 182
£125 was labour......rest was oil filter, pollen filter, air filter and VAT i think ....al in all if you count the oil i bought separately it cost me £245 !!!
and apparetnly i didnt give them enough oil....the manual say it take 4.75 litres but the garage told me it only filled it to half way between min and max.
i have to say though...they treated my car nicely, didnt wash it (i told them not to) and it had exactly the same mileage as when i dropped it off.......wasnt my local garage but i think it was worth the extra journey....my car feels completely different...runs like a dream now (was quite ropey before...but didnt realise until now!)......i am touching everything made of wood at this point!!......*******shhhhhh....dont want to jinx it***********
Pink/Blue 182
I took it to Baldocks in Wivelsfield, Sussex......
The engine idles better now....used to fluctuate a bit, which Crawley Down Renault was fine and normal.......I dont get the kangeroo effect anymore when its cold........starts first time everytime now.........maybe the rest of it is in my head but accelerating is a lot smoother and it seems to have a lot more poke in 3rd gear for some reason.....just wants to keep going and going......
White house T-well!!! ha ha cowboys I could tell a story or too bout them DONT take your car to them!!! trust me I have been through Renault CS bout them... I now go to a NEW dealer in maidstone (aylesford ind. est) all new equiptment and good staff with knowledge of 182 and all other RS!
Silver Fabia vRS
182s arent 2 years old, they came out early this year.
LOL^^^^^^^^^
I had mine done the other day cost me £198 all in.....expensive yes but thats seems to be the going rate down south!
The tw*ts put in 0w40 mobile1 oil instead of the 5w40 stuff - told them their error and the service guy fobbed me off saying that the oil they put in is better then the standard stuff recommended in the service book (which is true i think).....oh and they scratched the corner of my bumper
