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?
