Hi..

Thanks

For the first 1200 miles, you run in the car with a special thin engine oil. When you take the car in, they replace it with normal oil. The service is free of charge.

I think that's the extent of it.

I think it's a bit more oil than that - they changed out the diff and (I think gearbox) oils too when I had mine done

I know this thread is a bit old, but I just had the 1200m service done. Can confirm that they change the engine oil, gearbox oil and diff oil.

Wow, yours must have been hanging around a bit as they have not been made for a few years now.
