The oil filter traps all the particulates so what’s the benefit in changing the oil without changing the filter especially when the filter is so easy to change, it takes 2 mins to change whilst the oil is changing so no extra labour, just the cost of the filter.

Personally, I would not use a garage that advised changing the oil without the filter.

The oil capacity for the engine is 5.7 litres but this will be less without a filter change, so 7 litres is far too much.

£120 thats cheap is this for first service at dealership?

that's for first oil change at dealership, that's 7 litres of 0W-20 at 15 quid/litre plus another 20 as charge for half hour's work

at first I found them puzzling but now they grew on me, i kind of like the looks of them and that they are unique to the 19'' wheels.  one thing i noticed, they collect very tiny pieces of sand which you can clean using a brush.  could that be a use for them?

Is it the backrest you mean? Where it seems to recline a little bit? Yes, this is a known problem, I’ve seen several people report it. I think I’ve noticed it to some small degree in my car too.
