Thanks @radautoworks.
I'm really grateful.
I have been hoping of getting a replacement of my autel ds808 that got spoilt while helping to check for error codes on someone's car over a year now. I haven't been able to repair it because I've not seen a anyone that can do so.

I guess the mistake I made was.

1. USing the other oil filter that is not master park version.
2. Using the word sub total before the total, which includeds total part and total labour.
3. Not including shop supply and vat in my calculations.

I'm not sure.

And you just got yourself some oil to boot!! VAT is 7.5% and Americans don't include it in listed price. I'm glad you were able to replace the scanner damaged while doing a good deed!
