I could be wrong here.. If you get Oil onto the seal of the sump plug you could end up with a leek.. If it was mine i would total drain it, clean the area round the sump plug replace the sump plug or the seal if it can be bought seperatley and top up with the correct amount of Oil.

Oil on the seal shouldn't be a problem, in fact, it will probably help seal the sump plug better. Its best to give the area round the sump plug a good cleaning afterwards so it doesn't appear like its leaking. Consulted No 2 Breakdown service - who simply wanted to tow the vehicle back to main Toyota dealership - not interested in anything else except taking easy option of citing potential damage to catalytic converter etc.
Opted for the more expensive No. Came in a matter of 10 minutes!!!! They also wanted to tow to nearest garage but with a little bit of pressing, opted to try draining. Simple exercise once jacked up, took 10 minutes. Turns out had more than 1 litre in excess. Drained and reinstated Oil approximately 3.

As long as it can meet the basic requirements, they aren't too fussy about the rest. The additive package will be much lower quality than in one of their own oils and the one they are making to sell on will be just scraping the bare minimum.
Some own brand stuff is ok, it just depends what you are using it on. Quote from: "oilman" It doesn't really matter who made it for them, and Shell isn't anything really special when it comes to engine oil anyway.
So as you seem to be an expert in this field then which oil presumably a Synthetic one would you recommend using in the MR2 Roadster? Although somebody claimed it was now rebranded BP there was still plenty of Mobil synthetic oil in Halfords when I last looked a few months ago. Cheers Guy. Quote from: "oilman" 5w or 5w synthetic would be my choice, from a reputable brand.
What about Mobil 0W then? Too expensive or any other reason not to use it? Or what about their 0W "fuel economy" mix? Have a thorough read through this thread. All the questions are answered here. The Silkolene Pro s and Pro R have covered many track days in many memebers cars, many of them turbo conversions and none of them have suffered oil failure. If you want to save a few quid, try the cheaper stuff.
We generally like the good stuff because it lubricates the engine, does not shear down or boil off and it keeps the oilways nice and clean throughout the service interval. You get what you pay for. Shell have done bad stuff in the past and don't sell anything spectacular at present, so would not be keen on having their product in my sump. There are other good oils too.
Have a look in the link in Oilmans signature to see who he works for and what products he can offer. Ex 2GR-FE roadster. Sold it. Now Jaguar XE-S Officially over by the bins.

You dont get much choice with 0w so your kind of limited to Mobil and Castrol, both good but there is as always better if you want it
