stephen 2 Report post Posted April 29, 2014 Oil change - 3300mls Went to Halfords today for a first oil change. I know all the experts on here say it's easy - but I'd probably mess up the drive,and leave the filler cap off, spraying oil all over the engine, or something like that. So they charged £79 and used Fuchs Titan GT-1 0-20w oil and a Unipart filter. Oh - and they left the filler cap off, spraying oil all over the engine. I went back to them and they are now steam cleaning it. At their expense. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kodename47 446 Report post Posted April 29, 2014 Why not a Toyota/Subaru filter? Not bothered with warranty? If so, I'd get a genuine filter on there, they're not expensive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
