Brad Penn is a great brand. It's very popular in the classic Porsche community.

We sent some VOA into Blackstone and this was our findings for their 20W50. Obviously, you'll want to run the correct weight for your MINI.

No wear metals were present and insolubles (solids) only read a trace, but that could be from additive falling out of suspension. The main additives were sodium, calcium, and magnesium, which are detergent/dispersant additives, and phosphorus and zinc are antiwear additives. No water was found. This is serviceable oil.
