So my wife's MINI ONE 2013 drinks a load of engine oil and I have run out of 5W-30.
I do have a few bottles of Shell Helix Ultra Professional AJ-L 0W-30 for my Discovery Sport, but it has never needed any oil.
Will I screw up the MINI if I use this instead?
Thanks
 
Out of interest do you service her car yourself?

My Mrs has a Mk7 fiesta which used to consume a bit of oil, now I've started doing it myself and using the proper ford recommend oil with those correct numbers on(not the viscosity like a longer number) and now it doesn't consume oil anymore.

Nope, my local Indy garage does it. I bought some 5W-40 online, its rated for BMW long life which I believe is the spec for mini, and some internet page said use the 40, it might help with the engine oil consumption.
Thanks for the feedback guys.
