That's pretty good

I must admit I've been taking my D2 to Kwik Fit.

They have a fixed price oil and 1 filter change for any vehicle. £29.90 all it. For the D2 they charge an extra £5.

Last time I took it there I had my own filters (£4.50 for 2 Bearmach filters via e bay). They charged £25 as they didn't have to supply filters. That works out at around £3 per litre. Your price works out at just over £2.50 per litre.

At my rate of changing my engine oil every two years it would take ten years to use 30 ltrs

Something dont add up there, fixed price any vehicle, plus a £5 surcharge

I suggest you put more than one and a half litres in each time...

It's £29.90 for an oil change with ONE filter for any car. The D2 uses two filters, so they charged me a extra £5 for the 2nd filter. Fair enough I thought.

The 2nd time I took my own filters. They charged me £25 just for the oil.

At about 8 litres that's just over £3 per litre.

Obviously if you drive in in a fiesta or something that takes about a pint, then it is probably cheaper to do it yourself, but when you need about 8 litres for the disco then it makes sense. No one locally sells the oil that cheap.

Only six litres is used per oil change with a V8, so every two years the oil is changed and that would equal the 30 ltrs after ten years, and there's no topping up over that period required either, brilliant....it's only a weekend motor you see

Sirus says he fries chips in it.
