M156 - Oil Top Up

[LondonViking]

I know the garage has used the Mobile 1 / 0W40 on the last oil change but now I'm looking to do a small top up and was wondering whether its needs to be the exact same oil or whether I could still do a topup with the Mobile 1 New Life 0W40 which I have?

That will be absolutely fine.

Yes that's fine.

cheers highly appreciated.

Are people measuring the oil level at operating temperature so letting the car sit for 10ish minutes after a good run or from cold? On the A45 it was operating temp and then letting its sit for 5-10 min and then do the measure.

^ The same

BTW, it's about 2-litres between the min and max marks on the dipstick.

Cheers highly appreciated and just checked the manual it says 1 litre between the low and high mark ??

Should be 1 Litre.
