I was driving to the dentist this morning and my oil warning light started flashing. As it was only a mile from the Fiat dealer I thought I'd drop in and ask them about it. As I pulled up outside the screen on the instrument cluster said "change engine oil".
I spoke to the service dept and they said as it's a multijet it would need an oil change, at £68. I said that was strange, as service interval is 18k or 1 year and the car isn't a year old yet and has only done 6400 miles.
They offered me my first service now (£210!), but I said just do the oil for now.
Is this normal? And if so, does this mean I'm going to need an oil change every 6000 or so miles? When I bought the car I was led to believe service was every 18k, not 18k + oil change twice a year.
I have to say I'm not impressed right now
