Why is engine oil sooo expensive?
Options

07-06-2013 4:20pm#1Brother just had a servive done on his 1.6 diesel engine, and the 4.5L of specialist engine oil cost €190
Is that normal?
Another thing that strikes me is that his "service" consisted of an oil change & a filter, and that was it!
Maybe that's all that's required for a diesel service?0

It's a diesel car and the 1.6 model
I dunno why people go into these places to get their car serviced without finding out how much it's roughly gonna cost and then come onto boards to give out when they get their bill.0 -

Yes but even that doesn't mean you can know how much parts cost. They can vary massively from model to model.
One member above says you should get a fuel filter for €20 tops. Just threw it out there as if it was a fact. No info as to what car we are talking about, just posted it up there regardless.
As another poster above pointed out above you can not buy a fuel filter for a 1.6D Focus for €20. You can double that and add VAT at least for the metal type that is commonly fitted to them. Even the cheaper plastic type won't be bought for under €30.0 -

If it was the Peugeot 1.6 hdi engine then I would say.
Fully syn oil €60
Oil filter €12
diesel filter €45
air filter €15
pollen filter €20
€152
Labour €38
Total €190
_______________Yep, thats it^
Rang the brother earlier, and he has confirmed that it was not just the oil (specialised) to be changed,
but that it was for all of the above + the labour, hence the €190. Still sounds expensive to me though.
are you serious you think thats expensive for all that ???????
what is it about people these days that they want everything for nothing :rolleyes:0
