I4 Engine oil

[Beachbum]

What are people using, when they need to top up?
Lotus manual says Total INEO XTRA EC5 SAE 0W/20 / C5, SN Plus / ILSAC GF-6A / MB229.71
Looking for that stuff in the UK, bring up about 3 different alternatives, none of which fit the description 100%

If you do have suggestions, where are you sourcing it from?
Halfords seem to stock something along the right lines, but the "SN Plus / ILSAC GF-6A / MB229.71" bit is missing
Am I being too fussy and any 0W/20 oil will do?

"SN Plus / ILSAC GF-6A / MB229.71" are all different certifications and not every oil will carry all of the certifications. As long as the oil meets one or more of the certifications then you are fine. You'll find plenty of oils that are SN Plus or GF-6A.

I got 1L of the specified oil and manufacturer from Opie Oils in the UK.

Thanks for that.I know Opie Oils from his SELOC presence. I needed something here and now, so went to Halfords to get 1L. Will order something from Opie in the new year, as his prices look pretty competitive
