C4S has done 2,700 miles. Have been reading about first oil change and considering my options:

-OPC
-Specialist
-OPC with my own oil
-DIY

Some questions before phoning OPC please:

A) How much would OPC charge for engine oil and filter replacement?

B) If I supply my own oil to OPC, how much saving I would expect?

C) If I go Specialist/DIY route, would this affect the warranty and would OPC be happy to reset the service interval for me and how much would they charge for resetting?

D) my understanding the oil is of Mobil 1 new life 0w-40. Two 5L bottles... Amazon is around 42 ponds a bottle. Is this the best price please?

Thank you

Hey, guys....

Owing a £100K+ car is a personal choice.... Depreciation of 1-1.5K a month is inevitable but does NOT contradict saving UNNECESSARY costs...

Car is only 3 months old and I am not talking about servicing the car I am talking about the OPTIONAL oil change after the break-in period.... Off course I will keep all the scheduled services at OPC, there is no doubt about that, but there is lots of talk in the american forums about the break-in oil change and the DIY, however, here in the UK may be the attitude is different... Anyway, thank you for you thoughts
