Take the car’s dry-sump oiling system, for example. It comes with 16 different drain plugs, all of which can only be accessed by removing parts of the supercar’s underbody.https://www.topspeed.com/cars/car-news/watch-how-the-21-000-27-hour-oil-change-is-done-on-a-bugatti-veyron/
It doesn’t end there, either. When it comes time to refill the car with oil and check air filters, mechanics will also have to remove the car’s rear fender liners and rear deck. That’s “have to,” folks. That wouldn’t be so time-consuming if not for the fact that there are way too many bolts on those panels to keep them in place. No wonder this whole process takes around 27 hours to complete.
So, there you have it. A Bugatti oil change isn’t just expensive; it’s also time-consuming. Then again, when you have enough money to actually buy a Bugatti Veyron, a $21,000 oil change should be a drop in the bucket for you. And waiting 27 hours for the whole process to complete shouldn’t be an issue, either, because you can just use any one of your other exotics while the Veyron’s in the garage getting its juices swapped.
