Try Carrefour or if not there should be someone at the ACO information that could point you in the right direction

Thanks for the reply. My shoddy car with only an electronic dipstick had demanded a litre of oil adding, I added the litre I'd bought with me but it still insisted it was at the minimum level,

I resorted to reading the manual with said you could use 10w40 as an alternative, so I bought some of that from Carrefour.

The manual also suggested that it would take 30mins of driving for the oil level gauge to be accurate. It actually took most of the trip down to Chartre sur le Loir (1hr) to finally decide that it was in fact full of oil.

Bloody BMW, surely spending an extra €1 on a manual dipstick would be much easier.
