What engine oil?

[e46monk3y]

On leave at the vaal for a few days, Just got here and my car tells me yellow oil light. Check the obd and it tells me she needs 1litre.

Which oil do I top her up with?
The on call guy said any synthetic oil but which one is recommended?

I would suggest you top up with the same brand of oil that's in the car at the moment. I use Shell helix ultra 5w-40 in my car :thumbs:

Phone the dealership that normally services your car to see what they typically use, and get a litre of the same oil to top up. :thumbs:
