Guess how much to drop the oil, fit new oil filter and new oil, in a derv??? Local cheap garage!!



























?77.00 incl VAT.

I've got an oil sucker but after 2 years thought I had better get the sludge out of the bottom of the sump. As we live on a hill, didnt fancy jacking it up to remove the sump plug and filter. Used to do it at our fully fitted out workshop, old oil tank, old filter bin etc. Dont realise how usefull it was untill it was gone.

Anyway took it to National ?45 plus ?10 for sump tray removal?? less ?5 voucher. Bit different to just buying the oil and a filter and banging it on.
