My car will be going for its 1st 1000 mile service (MY00) this Saturday.

How much should I expect to pay for this? Hope I don't need to break the bank.....

Anything between £90 and £150 depending on dealer, shop around.

For a euro import

I can't remeber how much mine was, I know it wasn't much though, it might even have been free

It should only be an oil change and a quick check over. A year or so ago, mine was just over 35 quid. The service takes from 1/2 to an hour.

The dealers usually recommend semi synth (shell Helix) for the first change and fully synth(mobil 1) for subsequent ones.

If your car is a uk supplied one then it wont cost you a penny but if its a euro import your looking at 100quid, reccommend you start to put fully synthetic oil in from now, the shell helix 5w30 is what the dealer puts in, then i went up to 5w40 for the 6month service now on 15w50 mobil1 motorsport and shes running like a dream

Took mine in last week, cost me £38 (parts only). Just did an oil change and gave it a check over, took 1 hour.

Thx for you comments guys.....

Glad to hear that it aint gonna cost me a arm and a leg.....

Fingers x that it totally free cos its a UK SPEC.

It won't be totally free as if you read your service manual you will see that you will be charged for parts although the labour is free. It should cost you under £40.

Picked up my MY01 Sport Wagon yesterday... Yesssssssss !!

Garage says it's a free service .

What oil should I use ? Brand, grade, etc ? (I don't know anything about oil, therefore, talk to me like if I was 6 years old ). Mobil 1 seems to be a wide spread choice... Can anybody explain the xxWyy stuff ?

I'm asking because Portuguese amateurship might take over, and someone there might think: Why should I put expensive oil if oil is all the same ? If I TELL them what to put in, they will (I hope).

Thanks
