My Cooper S needs a oil top up but I don't know which oil is good for my mini. I have been told that castrol oil is the best, but Idon't know which one. Please help
Cheers

I think if you look at the place where you put the oil in, it says a brand it recommends from what I can remember.

'MINI recommends Castrol' - make sure it is a full synthetic.

If you pop to your dealership/local BMW garage, they'll be able to supply you with some Castrol SLX (top-up bottle), which has been excellent so far in my car.
