I'm pretty sure it doesn't have to be castrol. Many manufacturers have more than one oil manufacturer qualify their required spec.

I'm sure my last top up was Mobil 1.

Mine gets it's first service tomorrow..............25k

I drive it hard and it's had the stage 1 kit since new. Glad i dropped the oil at 12k, cause it's looking grim at the moment.
