Default MY07 STi, oil??

I'm looking to buy a bit of oil to keep the levels right when checked, any recommendations of what oil to buy, what grade of oil and where to buy from?

Thanks in advance

Just kidding, go for Motul 300V Chrono 10W40, it made a noticable difference to the smooth running of the engine compared to what my car was running from the dealer.

Yeah, seems a decent price as well. Think I'll get some in for when the service is due.

In the mean time would there be any implications in topping the oil levels up with this oil considering the oil that is already inside the car? I'm guessing it will be of the same grade anyway?

Cheers
