Topping up oil
I recently bought a new 1.2 Suzuki Swift. Only done 2,000 miles but the oil could already do with a top up. The handbook says the number 1 recommended oil is Castrol Magnatec 0w - 20.
My question - is this what I should use to top up in advance of the first service or will the factory fitted oil be different to allow for bedding in etc. In that case what should I use?
The move to 0w - 20 oils seems to be gaining momentum.

That's a very light oil, but if that's what they say, that's what you should use.
