Oil Service

My Mini One Diesel is due for Oil Service in a couple thousand miles (just after Christmas) and wondering where to take it.

My local mini garage is Sytner Sheffield. Can i ask what is done on the oil service? The car is out of warranty and to keep the Mini Full Service History would be nice, however I dont like paying people £100+ to check the tyre pressures and change the oil and filter when I can easily do that at home!!!

Any ideas?

have you got TLC? you could buy TLC XL. They dont charge much for an oil service, £70?

My Mini has done 70,000miles and I currently do about 300miles a week!!! Don't ask!!! Sheffield to Edinburgh return!

TLC expired - might look at the XL pack.

Hmmm... some of the leaflets MINI sent me stated that you needed to upgrade to TLC XL before your existing TLC package expired. Or has that now changed?

TLC XL I think only covers to 80,000 miles, which on your current mileage would give you about 9 months cover.
