I'm not sure about deals on oil as such, but I had an oil change done
at National Tyres today on the Zetec. QXL 5w30 and new oil filter for
£26. They flushed the engine before changing the oil as well -
brought the price up to £32 all in. I'd be hard pressed to do the oil
change myself for that, with the more expensive Ford spec oil.

You be "hard-pressed" to do an oil-change on a Ford for less than £32 ?
Try your local motor factors, in-spec semi-synth is £14 and a filter less
than £4 from my local.

OK it may be less hassle going to NT, but don't try kidding yourself it's
the same cost as DIY

Which suddenly flips, pinning you underneath.

Add in the cost of laundering your clothes after the oil has run down your
sleeve, and the cost of the trip to the tip to dispose of the old oil, and
it begins to make more sense though!

National Tryers have a printable discount voucher on their wibble which
allegedly lets you have an oil and filter change using cheap oil for
£15. Except of course they don't have that oil in stock.

"We can do the £20 service, sir"
"No, just book me in for when you have the correct oil, please", which
turned out to be today. I wasn't at all surprised when they rang me
yesterday and told me that unaccountably the oil hadn't arrived "But we
can do the £20 service, sir".

Has anyone anywhere managed to get the £15 service? Their head office
has remained stony-silent on the matter.

It's a 200,000 mile Mondeo, and I don't feel inclined to put fancy oil in it!

Why not? Decent mile might well take it to 300,000 miles

Nope, I mix mine 50/50 with creosote and paint the fence and shed with it.

There's plenty of other bits that'll die long before that!
