Couple of questions... Mini One

Couple of questions:

1. Wich oil is best for my car? I bought it from someone who puts in TotalFina 10W40 oil... is this okay to use?

2. I have troubles with my car when it's cold. Now in winter, I start and my choke(hope this is a word in English) gets the car upto around 1500 rpm. Pretty normal so far... but when I want to drive, it seems like the car is going to stall... I have to give pretty much gas other wise the engine shuts down... anything I can do about it? I'll check software later...

3. My gearbox is holding pretty wel but I would like it to go smoother... is there anything I can add to the gearbox oil, or special gearbox oil so it will shift better? Also can I see what kind of gearbox my One has? (Gertrag or Midlands) Because the guy I bought it from said it was already replaced...

4. Is there much difference between gear ratios of a Cooper and a One? And wouldn't it be faster to put in a Cooper's (or even a S) box? Now I can drive about 120km/h in 2nd gear... but I would be more happy with a little less speed in second, and a little more acceleration...
