I have a friend's service invoice for the 31K mile / 50K klm service on his Gransport, and am so far happy with what I have scrounged up;
Engine oil;
He was charged over $36 per litre x 9 litres - no mention of brand = $330
I paid $10 per litre for the 7.5 litres of Shell Helix Ultra 5W-40 = $75
Spark Plugs
He was charged over $48 per plug - no mention of brand = $387
I paid $11.50 each for my NGK Iridium = $92
Pollen Filter
He was charged $141 - no mention of brand
I paid $21 for my Fram CFA8788
Air filter
He was charged $137 - no mention of brand
I paid $112 for my BMC FB349/12
I've also picked up Gates belts for $11 apiece and EBC Yellows for $75 for the fronts - all of these are over-the-net delivered to the door - most from the US.
I don't intend to do the work myself - I have zero mechanical aptitude and I still want them expertly serviced and the book stamped - but I was not keen to replicate his $2000+ service bill.
Once the exercise is complete I'll post it in the Aussie section for those who just want to push the buttons to purchase the necessary parts...
