| Hi all,
I pick up my first cooper s on saturday - an 08 plate with 10k on the clock.
It has the tlc pack until mid-2013 but surprise surprise, the obc says no oil change is due for another 7k - which'll be the first one.
That seems crazy to me, what would be two years on the same oil if I waited for that 7k to elapse, but I won't go on about it as I know there have been threads about this already etc. Still, as I plan on keeping the car a while I'd really like to get an oil and filter change done pretty quickly even if that means having to stomach the £100 or so its bound to cost me anywhere I go, let alone Mini as I've already tried getting Mini to do one as part of the "deal" I struck but they said they couldn't (more like wouldn't) as the car didn't need one yet.
So to cut to the chase, a couple of questions: where did anyone go for their first (early) oil change, does it mess up the condition based servicing/obc working out when the next oil change is due, could Mini theoretically invalidate the warranty should something go wrong further down the line and they find out a did an early oil change etc etc.
Any help much appreciated,
thanks,
Tim.  |
