I'm keen to keep a bottle in case of any need for topping up, but wondered if anyone knew which oil AM use as standard for this engine?

There's a spec in the handbook, but I can't find reference to any preferred brand and would prefer to remain consistent.

Thanks!

ETA: it's a 2017/8 model.

Whether AML dictate to their dealers regarding oil brands I do not know.
My main dealer was using Mobil 1, then at a subsequent service had changed to I think Castrol. It might have been the other way around.

Obviously the grade is important, but perhaps amongst the top brands, the particular choice may be of less importance.

Bear in mind that its from an Australian website and ambient conditions out there are a bit warmer than here, especially in the Winter, so it could be different spec oils over here.
