He looked at me like I was speaking Jibberish! I then said forget about it your useless and walked out (Feeling very proud of myself) KWIK FIT SUCK!

I then approached another Garage who were very helpful who got everything sorted, put in 5w-30 Fully Synthetic Oil, which was £26 a bottle the good stuff (He called a Chrysler Techhy who confirmed this was the stuff to use) - Had new Air filters and oil filter. Smooth process and done a good job!

He said that he would put in at no extra cost 0w-40 however he wouldnt have been happy doing it after speaking to his tech person. Taking into consideration the time of year/weather/temperatures 5w-30 was the option.

He did however mention that If I was to get Spark Plugs done, to use Platinum plugs? But said to shop around as they are pricey. Is this correct?

5W-30? £26? I guess that's for a quart? Half gallon?
You read this whole thread and still put in this oil, it is a bit thin and the techie is wrong, we use 0W-40 in Canada.
Did this oil meet the MB standards? What brand was it?

Kwik Fit saw you going but someone else saw you coming.
