Talking of servicing, is yours due its first 2 yearly service, or is it on condition based servicing? Either way, is the car asking for oil? Just wondering if this can wait for the service, if it's due soon.
Its just asking for a top up, 1ltr max.

I had the car serviced by OPC, including oil and brake fluid, when I got it last September. They reset the service intervals so nothing is out of sync. The car was registered 27 nov 2018 so that was done just before it was a year old and it had done just over 11k miles. It's now done 16.5k.

When I type my reg into opie oils I get Mobil 1 ESP 5w 30 fully synthetic. Is this correct?

That is what the OPC put in my 2016 model (and the bottle in the boot) last week.
