I told my mechanic that I wanted 0w30 and he changed the oil in front of me. I would have done it myself but I don't have a garage nor stilts. There was a deal for National Tyres who were charging £43 (that was before I knew I should put 0w30) but they cancelled on me so I decided to go to the garage even if they'd charge a bit more. I wasn't prepared for almost three times as much though...they wouldn't cheat me, I was just not prepared. Comparing to other garages, have I paid over the odds? They probably didn't look for any oil deals and just got the quickest from euro car parts. I looked there and 6 litres were £72. Also, I saw the oil filter which was aftermarket and I didn't think something like that needed to be genuine original but I've read on here that people are going to HH for that. Should I have done?
