from a very good source. Effective Jan 1. BMW and guessing MINI will be changing to SHELL to distribute albeit supply their oil.

What does this mean. ?? You got me. But I thought I would pass it on to all of you, especially the oil analysis, quantity, quality, brand, type.

No mention of recommended weights or intervals or rating. Just SHELL.

I'm a 0w-40 MOBIL 1 fan, so that won't change for me.

I wish they had the appropriate Shell on the shelves where I live. If I recall correctly, Shell recommends 5W40. If they do special branded oil for MINI, the weight may be different kind of like the difference between the MINI labeled Castrol and what you get off the shelf.

 

Shell Oil won the bidding contract is my guess.

Love Mobil 1! Been using it for many years now.
