Hey Guys,
I picked up a pretty cherry 2005 Mini cooper s with the supercharged chrysler derrived 1.6L engine. The manual stipulates either 5w-30 or 5w-40 LL01 is applicable. The sticker on the air filter cover says 5w-30. The maintenance minder on this thing wants to click over 12,000 miles however likely I'll just do 5,000 mi oil changes.
Do I really need to use a higher end Euro oil like Mobil 1 0w-40 or Catrol etc?
Any oil recommendations are appreciated.
