Can anyone tell me, please, what oil I should be using to top up my Cooper?

The handbook refers to various "Mini Longlife" stuff - does it rejoice under another name at Halfords? Or is a trip to a dealership my only option?

Thanks

Wrighty

bit slow with a reply this mini bunch ain't they, Coopers use 0W-30 fully synthetic - BMW charge £15 a litre which is just a typical german car dealer rip off - get it somewhere else

Excellent - thank you. I presumed there would be the usual dealer "mark up" (aka rip off).

And I was a bit surprised by the lack of responses, but who am I to talk - it's taken me a week to say "thanks" (although my excuse is that today is first day back from hols in South Africa...)
