Red Cooper MCS R56 Engine Oil / Grade Choice

Hi guys,

I bought a new MCS a couple months ago and so far have done 700km. Can you recommend which oil brand and grade to use and when it is likely to need its first top up?

In case it makes any difference to the grade choice, I'm in the middle of the Moscow winter (now -5-20*C until end of Feb probably).

Thanks,

C

Picked up 4L of Castrol Edge 0W-40 so will see how it likes that Annoyingly still a long way off hitting the 2,000km break-in period
