8.5 - 1st oil change
« on: 03 April 2026, 10:15 »
quoted 120 pounds for first oil change at 7.500km, does that sound about right?  I see that the engine takes between 5-7 litres, anyone who's had their oil changed at the dealers, do they also change the filter if it's just oil change and not full service?

Yes, they will change the filter. An oil service will always include it.

actually they said no filter needs changing at 7.500 km, they have that down for the 15k service
