I have interim oil change but only use Honday Fully Synthetic oil, and will continue to do so until the warranty expires. I use very little so am quite happy about paying their prices. Cost of oil plus 1/2 hour labour.

God I do learn the hard way

Just picked my S up from a new dealer in Solihull - it went in yesterday for 31,500 mile 'interim' oil change & service (plus I needed new rear discs and pads).

didn't have time to source any oil myself (stoopid move).

They've just charged me

Depends on how you look at it. Honda do not pay full retail price for the oil, it'll be heavily discounted but they still charge you full price as well as the labour costs. How they make money I guess.
