Thanks Dave, sorry I missed your post, I only looked in maintenance.

I've a 2008 Roadster II, didn't think the engines were very much different between the Series. However, the Oil Filler Cap states SAE 5w20 and the handbook SAE 5w30. So it looks like we'll end up using the same oil!

PS Halfords have Mobil 1 5L at 20% off (March 2010)
