My local Subaru dealer offers two types of oil service: basic or premium. Other than the synthetic oil, the service department seems to make a difference between two types of Subaru oil filters. What do you think? Do you think the premium service (as presented below) is pure price gouging? Your advice is appreciated. I'm also not quite sure what oil/filter came with my new XV.
BASIC OIL AND FILTER SERVICE - $47.00
This includes: Drain old oil and install 4 litres of Kendall 50/50 Synthetic Blend 5W30 oil, install new genuine Subaru SIX STAR oil filter, new drain plug gasket, all fluid levels checked, and adjust tire pressures to the recommended levels.
PREMIUM OIL AND FILTER SERVICE - $85.00
This includes: Drain old oil and install 5.5 Litres of Mobil 1 or Kendall 5W30 Synthetic Motor Oil, new original equipment Subaru oil filter, new drain plug gasket, all fluid levels checked, tire pressure check, and complete 30-point vehicle inspection.
