Interesting especially given the fact that BMW and MINI recommend V Power too :(

used to be good when you opened the boot and a litre bottle of oil in there ,great for running in if needed

This suggests that MINI's recommendation had nothing to do with the quality and durability of the Castrol synthetic, and has everything to do with the fact Shell have come in with a blistering offer and that's now MINI's oil of choice. Purely a financial issue and nothing to do with engine care or longevity.

Me... cynical? Nooooooo. :shut up:

Interesting Portillo we will get some nice MINI/ Shell branded goodies. Castro has been BMWs oil of choice for years

[Mon the fish]

As Andy says, nothing more than a contract thing. You should just stick to the oil you're happy with anyway, I've tried a few different brands over the years
