Mini Cooper Oil?

[wemay]

Must be a Shell product since switching from BP Castrol:

5w30 meets API SL / BMW Longlife-01 / ACEA A3/B4

What's the equivalent Pennzoil OTS oil?

You can use any oil meeting LL-01 spec. If you must have Pennzoil, then Pennzoil Platinum Euro 5w40 is probably the easiest to find.

On paper, Pennzoil has Pennzoil Platinum Euro 5w30 as well, but it is nowhere to be found, AFAIK.

That's what i thought. My buddy just bought a Cooper S coupe. What a blast to drive and how incredibly solid.

Yeah, they improved the interiors on the new ones a little bit as well. Still goofy, IMO, but less barbie-like than in the past.

Reliability is still a big question mark.

I hated the reverse baseball cap looks as well but loved driving it. It began looking better as the miles flew by. Lol. I owned a Cooper S for about 3 months (supercharged version) and it was the (lack of) reliability that kept the ownership at only 3 months.
