Oils are expensive a litre of synthetic engine oil 5.40w costa in a Supermarket 10 euros
Yowsa, at almost $6.00 US per gallon it's easy to not realize how expensive fuel is in other countries. The laws in Portugal may require the dealer to do all maintainence in order to keep your warranty intact. If this is the case then absolutely the cost of dealer service is a factor and you're right, the service cost of a Mirage/Space Star shouldn't be more than an Outlander Sport/ASX.
