This week I checked the oil (after fitting new rear brakes) to find its on the minimum mark, so its off to Halfords to buy some oil for a top up.

I look in the manual expecting to see the oil grade – easy you would think, but no, not the case with BMW as it only states the BMW oil grade, not the usual oil grade you expect!

Lucky the iPhone was on hand to search some of the Mini forums, and for a cooper you want Castrol fully synthetic 0-30W @ £16 per litre bottle!
