Has anyone ever used MOTUL 3000 20w50 4T Mineral oil for a mini? I'm down in Spain and want to do an oil change. This MOTUL oil is the only 20w50 mineral oil that I can find.

Trying to find one local rather than online. Found one by Total that might do but need to locate a Total garage. Neither of the 2 motor factors near me haven't a clue what I'm asking for. I'll try Norauto next week when shops are back to normal.

The ZDDP levels are high in that oil (>1800) I think its meant for Harley-davidson, can't you find some CI-4 oil somewhere?

Yup but it will have enough ZDDP in it for your engine/box, it's classed as diesel oil as most truck engines are flat tappet, its the ZDDP you need, can you not find "Classic car oil " at all?

I just had a Google about Repsol which is a Spanish oil company list 3 different 20w50 oils, one of those should do the job
