Why was the engine oil not changed?

[cowell]

the engine oil was not changed when getting the car serviced at 40,000 km. this was strange to me so when i asked the adviser he said there is no need for it.

pls anyone can clarify the no need.

Do you mean the advisor at Al Futtaim???

Probably you/they must have used the synthetic oil last time which last for 10k kms and you must have gone for service after 5k kms, and thats why they must have checked in records and verified that fact and also verified with the current condition of oil being good and not black.

Above statement have loads of if's and assumptions, so better get double check outside if your car needs oil change. Oil is much cheaper than petrol full tank and one should never ignore that as it can really blow the engine components.
