I suggest you stay with OEM filters and fluids.

well guess i'll just go for castrol edge 5w30 then supercheap have them on now for 47.99, my car is 3 yrs 2006 model

like i said i'm assuming automaster will use aftermarket part in this services to cut the cost of profit margin for themself since they do all this for just $198 hence it will be real hard for me to use the OEM parts/fluid for this, btu will its much much of performance in btw OEM or aftermarket, can anyone tell me please ?

bump.
Couldn't find any dedicated "how much did you pay for your 50k service" thread, so just wondering if anybody could help.

Normally I go OEM oils, but if I can save money I'll bring my own. Any oil recommendations?

I made some phone calls, lowest price was $205, highest was $295.
Providing my own oil, the lowest price was $162 and the highest was $235.

I'm amazed how there can be such a massive difference in price.

Where you live?Bring your own oil.What dealer was the cheapest?Also make sure they change the oil filter,logbook says to change every 20K:eek:.Eg.20K,40K,60k.
