So, JamesV6CDX, that brings 4 x 5l semi to around £30 by time VAT on it, and with the common VOF93 spin on oil filter being around £1.25, an oil change on most cars with spin on will cost you £10 (v6 hold slightly more than 1 can of oil), so chance to either increase profit or make your prices even more reasonable ;)

I always supply bits at whatever they cost anyway - and an oil change is something I would usually do for free (if passing, or someone comes to me!)

I know I call myself a mobile mechanic - but in reality, I just help people out, and charge a minimal amount to cover costs and time. I reckon this usually equates to 10/15% of what a Vx stealer would charge - very ethical :y
