    Hi All

    Our Cooper (1.5 petrol) is about a year old and given the low mileage when we purchased, we won't be doing the miles to trigger a CBS service before two years, so it wont be due its first service until around March 2022. I don't like the idea of leaving it that long so was going to get an interim oil change done soon, at the local garage (and not update service record).

    Just wanted to check which oil others are using. I bought the car from Parks and they advise they use Castrol 0w-30, but I imagine that will just be the brand currently offering them the best bulk buy. I've seen mention that the factory oil is maybe Shell Helix?

    I think I'll also need 4.5 litres. I'll just supply this myself as I'm sure it will be cheaper.

    Cheers

    Dave
