Wot have u been charged for oil from the service? I know alot of the Ford service centres use different oils so hard to compare, but just after some figures. Wanna know if it is worthwhile to get my own oil and save a few dollars. If thery charge 80 - 100 bucks may as well get my own. Just wanna use a 10w-30.....Cheers Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/46039-how-much-u-pay-for-yr-oil/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to remember they charge labour, so your bill won't just be for the parts, give them a call and ask what the service cost would be Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/46039-how-much-u-pay-for-yr-oil/#findComment-684018 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think last time they charged about $130 for a service - labour and parts (I supplied the oil).Cheers Edited 28/05/08 02:40 PM by lost my account details...

If they charge reasonable price and dont overcharge on oil, I may be lenient on them. But from now on may go to a Ultratune or something in that line.
