What do I need for 1200 mile first service?

Hi all,

As above, I usually provide my own oil / parts as I find people who can do the genuine parts cheaper than the dealer.

In the UK if it makes a difference (if anyone knows a good supplier, let me know please!).

So what do I need?

Rear axle differential oil
Engine oil
Oil filter

Anyone know which oil is recommended and the quantity we need?

Thanks!!

Ha I was telling someone at work today and she said "that's crazy, should be free" so it's not just you that thinks like that

Apparently it is in the region of around £250 - £300 it seems? But if I supply the oil I think that should bring it down a fair amount as they make good profit on that

Crazy...never knew Europe was like that

You should be able to find multiple 1200 mile service print-outs in other threads in this sub-forum...if not, I can take a picture later tonight.

weird... in Italy the first service is included... and actually it's clearly stated in the purchase contract that if you don't perform it the warranty will be void

maybe it's different in the UK

Thanks! I did dig deeper but as yours, most posts were from the US so I think any oil details I found likely wouldn't have been any good.

No worries, thanks anyway, I'll give the dealer a call and see what oil they plan to use - then see if I can find it cheaper anywhere... Thanks!
