Hey there,

I have used Lucas & Moreys ( same basic stuff ) in lots of my comapny trucks ( med. to heavy trucks ) - it works great!!

With the Moreys I add about .5 to 1 quart ( depending on oil pan capacity ) at oil changes.

It helps the oil run cooler, and maintain viscosity longer. I do notice a difference at the oil change times with and with/out the additive. With/out the additive the oil feels and looks like black water after 5-6K miles - with it , it looks and feels more like oil ( I am no oil expert:impatient ) But I have seen an improvment in MPG, and the engines run smoother.

I am not sure how much to add in a MINI - I would start at .25 quart and work up from there.

I used it in my old Mazda Miata ( 250K miles ) and I added about .5 quart at every oil change - in that car you could tell the difference.
And yes I sold it at 250K miles - it was still running great

Hope this helps
