Looking for advice on what oil to use in the Cooper S (R53 - dont know if that makes a difference with it being supercharged)

Or Castrol Edge 5W-30, depends what brand you like. Both Mobil 1 and Castrol are recommended by MINI.

I always use comma.(5w30 or 5w40) I knew a guy who was well informed on motor oils and he swore by it.
