Which short term, top up Engine Oil?

Guys,

Looking for some advice.

Have recently purchased the Z and engine oil is very low.

I have a full service booked, in 3 weeks time, when it will all be sorted properly but in the meantime, do you think it will be OK just to top up with the recommended (LL01)??

I’ve no idea what’s currently in there (neither does the previous owner…)

Thanks in advance

Castrol 5w30 is the usual choice so top it up. Any oil is better than no oil. I would get a four or five-liter can as you may need more than a liter. Start recording your mileage with oil consumption as some of them can drink oil.

Basically any oil..

LL01 and LL04 so obsolete as standards…

10W30 or 10W40 synthetic if yiu are really fussy..
