I agree with you, I have done the same in the past (not this time). Because I arrived very early at the workshop, and papers were lying there unattended in the "Ineos" section I could see a workorder where the customer said clearly: "don't fill the washer fluid".
I do try to remember to tell them I filled it prior so as not to get charged. One of our cars always has a 1ltr of top up oil left in the car and charged for it, I tell them I have plenty and don't want it so they knock it off the bill and tell me to keep it. Anyone need any oil, I think I could open a shop
Did they only get 6.5 litres of oil in? Seems a bit low to me. Maybe your garage wanted to save you some money....
@JeanMercier has a petrol engine so 6.5l engine for on road level. However the maintenance sheet I picked up in South Africa states 7L which I guess is the off road level.
Interesting that it specs 5W30 and not 0W20 which I think is the NAS spec.
Ah, thanks for the clarification. I have the diesel and didn't look closely (I could have noticed it with the different type of oil).
0W20 is in Europe for the Petrol the right spec. The sheet of @Logsplitter is from SA.
Exactly. I wonder why the different specs. I believe the engines are the same.
Important to remember that oil spec doesn't exactly qualify a viscosity specifically. It may suggest a viscosity, but it doesn't mean that all (or even most) of the oils of that viscosity meet the required specification. In certain regions there may be a more commonly found oil viscosity that meets the spec than in others (not all brands are available globally), or, it may just be a typo
For what it's worth... BMW's target is most likely far below that but I've never seen it in writing; Ineos has their own engine lifespan target which is more inline with your own expectation, and given those expectations, still decided upon 12k mile intervals and LL-17FE+ oil...
The oil supplied to me from Ineos Cape Town was 5W30 and that was used for my service at Ineos Kavongo in Maun , Botswana. I’ve had a service since in Cape Town before my vehicle was shipped back to the U.K. and I guess they used the same oil. Is it because ROW spec vehicles are euro4 spec whereas in Europe it’s euro6Important to remember that oil spec doesn't exactly qualify a viscosity specifically.

Is there any difference in the engines delivered to different regions?The oil supplied to me from Ineos Cape Town was 5W30 and that was used for my service at Ineos Kavongo in Maun , Botswana.

Same engines but differences in emissions control equipment as I understand. Euro6 vehicles need low SAPS oil. or low emissions oil.
I think we have the same emissions equipment on the North American petrol, so essentially the same motor. Yes, low SAPS for the GPF.
