As I understand it they sometimes even change the oil. Well worth the money.

I still miss the dipstick to confirm it has been done. Just seeing x litres of 0-20w Mobil on the invoice doesn't butter any parsnips for me!

Sad day.

Get a service plan, nothing else.

I've always been very gentle with engines for the first thousand miles or so. It may not make any difference but it can't do any harm.

I think cars are now too complicated and this leads to numerous software problems.

Sorry to hear of your experience. Donald's of Ipswich do a superb job.

Sorry to hear of your problems, they seem to be more than the usual software related stuff.

Doesn’t it seem odd to check the oil level with the engine RUNNING after years of having to let the hot oil settle back in the sump before wielding the traditional dipstick? Exactly! As for the accuracy of the sensor, the number of erroneous oil level messages I have had leaves me with no faith in ...

What a palava! This post shows how unnecessary and useless these sensors are. Bring back the dipstick!

I have always thought the 10% + 2mph was discretionary, not a gimme?
