Cost of changing engine oil

[rainhopper]

Can anyone tell me the approx amount that I should expect to pay a garage for changing the oil and filter in my Ford Ka?

[essex bloke]

most garages will do it for a set fee about a score

If it only costs �20 you will get cheap oil in the car, depends how much you want to pay, how much you value your car.

ATS do deals through out the year on oil and filter changes for �20 could be less for a ford ka.(U will see them in the press)
Top oil is used no rubbish in fact the use the same oil when i get my merc serviced.

I have become very suspicious of getting certain garages, even well known ones, to do the oil and filter change. Twice I was told this had been done only to find out later the filter had not be changed. This may be understandable as to have in stock every filter for every make of car would require a very large stock. Just mark the filter casing beforehand if you are unsure.

Its a ****** to check on a Ka though as you need to go under the car to see the oil filter.

National do it very cheaply, though don't have 5w30 which is what is recommended for your car. You should be okay with 10w40 anyway.
