G'day all,

Im about to do an oil change on my mini clubman and I thought it might be a good idea to see what oil brands all you other mini owners use on your minis.

So give me a hand in deciding which oil to use

Cheers :wink:

Not synthetic oils as they are too thin and don't provide enough protection for the gearbox.
