Spared no expense eh ?
I use shell helix ultra, quite scared of what jennings ford is going to fill it up with in february, they have to service it to keep warranty

You could always change it after, hope they use the right grade to!!
I might use some valvoline synpower this time

I got 4L + 1L free at £36 was not too bad
@kyle96 how old is your car? check what oil they have used and make them change it if its wrong
I might try the Shell helix stuff next as its used in Rari's aparrently.. and their fiats lol
I don't expect jennings to put in anything wrong, I just expect them to use something a bit cheap. I do like the thought of having my own oil in because the shell really is the smoothest stuff and lovely to drive with but seems a bit of a waste draining away all that fresh oil
how olds the car?
if its more than 3 years old just dont take it

Could you supply your own oil for them to use?
maybe ask them..,
I would be concerned about lack of warranty though..!!,
if you are paying good money for ANY garage to do an oil change.. make sure you are happy with what they are using,
TBH that's why my warranty age cars go to a Alfa / FIAT indy. as they actually use Selenia..,
not " whatevers on discount" like some places

The warrenty is very important to me and with the milage I do, even more so!
Might just ask them to fill up with my oil, maybe say 'ive had this laying around would you mind using it?'
I don't see why not, after all, they would be saving their own oil.
I got it for free, took about ten mins of haggling, better than having no warranty imo
