Hi guys,
Going to be doing an oil change for a mate who has the above car.
As usual a Google search produces lots of different bull shit from folk saying that ''you must do this'' and then someone disagreeing with them ::)
Anyway, i've narrowed the choice down to Castrol Magnatec or Mobil1. Both offer 5w30 fully synthetic (what the car needs) but there is quite a big price difference on the Hellfrauds website so ideally would like to use the Castrol.
Anyone highlight if there's anything wrong in using Magnatec in a mini? :)

My bro`s missus has got the same car.
The air con compressor was replaced after it had seized & snapped the drive belt.
Apparently they put the car into the "service position" to remove this part.
"service position" means they actually take the front of the car off & move the rads forward!
