Actually it's "bullit-proof" but I think they missed out the "sh" and added "-proof" to the description.

It's also missed what is arguably the most important service, the 600-1000 mile service where the oil is changed and usually the head bolts tightened and timing belt tension checked/tightened. Other important fasteners should also be checked at this point too!

This service is almost always FREE as well so no excuse for missing it. The oil change is simply to drain off the swarf from the first few hundred miles of running in so the next 5000-5400 miles aren't being driven with swarf in the oil.
