oil change

[Gazmdm]

the ds3 is a year old and very nearly 10k
now the service interval is 20k or two years, was thinking is it worth getting a oil change at a year just to keep it fresh??
and anyone know what im expecting to pay for just an oil change?

also got a letter from citroen saying the break down cover has now ended... surely its 3 years from new for breakdown cover
ive had a few new cars mainly vauxhall and now driving a honda aswell as the ds3 and on all my cars ive had 3 years breakdown cover up untill first mot, is it right citroen only offer 1 year???

thanks in advance

As far as I know the breakdown cover (Citroen Assistance) has always been 12 months with the exception of the C6 (that is the roadside service provided by AA, RAC or others). However Citroen do give a 3 year warranty on their cars. As for the question of getting an oil change @ 10k I guess that's very much personal choice, if Citroen are happy that the oil is good for 20k then I think that I'd probably go with that.

No DS3 has a service breakdown of 2 years / 30.000km (or think 20.000 miles)

But think it's not that bad to do it earlier

For the UK breakdown cover is as follows,

12 Months Citroen Roadside Assistance OR 36 Months Citroen Roadside Assistance if you have Citroen Elect 3 funding your car.

Outside the UK - Results may vary!

I've had the same letter about breakdown renewal, as mine expires on 10 Feb. They want £65 for 1 year or £130 for 2 (I'm surprised that they haven't incentivised renewal for 2 years by offering a discounted price of, say, £120).

I won't be renewing, as we already have a multi-car breakdown policy that covers the other cars in the household, and can be extended to the DS3.

Cheers
I'm just shocked it's only one year breakdown cover, might give the AA a shout.
As for an oil change might just give them a call see what they can do.

Out of interest. Any of you guys who have had your car for a year now, have you had to top up your oil ever?

[Gazmdm]

Only had ours since July, ex demo
Never needed oil, 1.6 120 bhp dstyle

My THP needed a 0.5 litre top-up a few weeks ago (at 11k miles) after a particularly long & hard cross-country thrash. First time it's dropped below the top indicator on the dipstick.
