First JCW oil change. Same oil as MCS?

First oil change 2K miles in late 06 Cabrio with full JCW package (less suspension). Do I use the same oil as an MCS or something else? Maybe its in the JCW docs but I'd have to dig them out.

Can you use a synthetic like Royal Purple or do you need to use the Mini oil?
