Early oil change - warranty implications?
Following your advice, I intend having the oil changed on my BMW X3 earlier than scheduled (1yr, 11k miles). Will having this work done by a non-franchised dealer affect my warranty? I'll insist on BMW specified fluids and parts.

Yes. It might, and definitely will if they do anything even slightly wrong. Have it done by the BMW dealer. Daft to save £100 and compromise a £35,000 car.

I bought a new Golf at the end of 2018 which I intend to keep long term. It drives very nicely but after 5000 miles the oil warning light came on, I topped up with synthetic 0/20 grade oil, about 500 ml...
I changed the oil and filter on my 2012 Ford Fiesta. Now the engine fault light is on and the turbo isn't working.
After carrying out an oil change, I have a leak from the sump plug. I used a metal washer from the filter pack, not a copper one, as I would have expected to seal the sump plug. Could this be the cause?
