Thank you Paul, very informative.paulmac wrote: ↑Tue Jan 14, 2020 4:28 pm Now that Gen2 petrol cars have a GPF, as we have all noticed, we have also been moved to low saps oil. The viscosity of this oil means that some will get into engine and on shorter trips will not be fully burnt which causes the particles that the car is now measuring. Low mileage should be fine, its short journeys (just like DPF) that will accelerate the need for an early oil change.

I asked this very question to be informed the oil will be tested during the interim and a decision made on wether another oil change is required 9 months after the previous oil change. Based on the first oil service being at 16 months from new I don't expect to pay for the oil service content of the interim service after 9 months....Paul wrote: ↑Tue Jan 14, 2020 8:47 am ^^
If you strike up a good relationship you’ll be fine
But here’s an awkward question for the service receptionist; what will they charge for your minor service in December when the car reaches its’ 2nd birthday? They will need to subtract the cost of the oil change surely.....!

Now, if I were a betting man, I’d say they’ll be “testing” the oil (not sure how?) and recommending a precautionary change....!! (call me an old cynic if you wish...)

Now that would be interesting, especially when I ask for a print out of the results to send with an oil sample for analysis by the company we use offshore to analyse our rotating equipment lubricating oil........
