I would stay with the oil that brought you 90.000km's ( or even mls..??)

Hi, I have not seen BP oil in Denmark, but I would like to know, it is a mineral multigrade oil 25w60 as far as I can see, is´nt ?

I think 90 000 Km is quite fine, so I would like to know a little bit more about the oil You are using.

Best regards Per
