Thanks All for your thoughts.

Looks like I'm going to have to trust the dealer - but there are several things that should have been sorted prior to handover and weren't, and the standard of preparation of the vehicle was not good - and so I am suspicious of whether they have actually changed the oil and filter. (I'm a cynical engineer.....)

I'm sure they know that the only way I can check is by having an oil analysis done.

Sorry - got a bit of a downer on the dealer. Sold me this big story about the high standards of prep they had to meet and the car fell way below the expectation they had built up. On handover dealer said 'the valeters have spent hours on this car....' - don't know what they were doing as they couldn't possibly have been cleaning it.

Currently in discussions, as they say.....
