Bonjour
I just typed "Oil" into the search filter and read the first 5 pages of results before I gave up.
I need to put oil in the van - it's the first time in 3 years I've noticed it's used any between services and this is possibly because it didn't get the full volume at service - who knows? If it uses another litre before the end of the next tank of fuel, I'll know something is wrong.

I have bought some 504/507 spec 5w30 LL oil - so I know 504 denotes the petrol engine, 507 is diesel and so I expect it to be low SAPS, etc., but is there a different spec oil if I am on a fixed interval or is the Longlife stuff ok? That's what I can't find online or in the forum search.
 
Actually scratch that, I found this handy diagram which would indicate that the 507 stuff is fine and Longlife or otherwise, it's probably the same
