   Most people also change the plugs, air filter and fuel filter.
   
   I have a old invoice here for a 106 quicky im doing tmoz
   Oil filter £4.52
   Air filter £6.70
   Fuel filter £6.08
   Spark plugs £6.00
   5l Oil £13.60
   +vat its £43.36
   
   You only want to pay a hours labour which at little garages is £30ish - citroen is near on £50 a hour.
   
   So any more than £80 and its a total rip off. Tbh, £80 is bloody dear

   Yea depends what oil you want though. I like Comma stuff. Cheap-ish but good. Around £20 for 5litres. You can get some for like £80

   For a simple oil and filter change we charge around £50.
