Oil changes at 3000 miles are the nicest thing you can do for your engine. It is something that the most novice mechanic can do with some basic tools.

You will need

Oil, Quantum 15-40 from GSF or other supplier. Both petrol engines take 4.5 Litres including the filter, if you aren't replacing the filter you only need 4L.

Oil filter, some change this every other change so every 6000 miles use a Mann filter they are the same for 2.1 and 1.9 Litre petrol engines

Thanks, new engine in fen from previous owner. I'm limited as I'm on the isle of Wight and driving to centre parcs Monday. I'll get some of the grade you mentioned for now.
