At my last service the garage used 15 / 50 fully synthetic oil. Does this sound a bit heavy? I know there is bound to be a difference of opinion on what oil is best but what do you think?

Its just about perfect mate. Okay, I use Magnatec but thats because I'm a skint flint and I don't really work my car hard. If I'm racing however, I'd use 15W 50.

Try not to use 5W 30. Not only does it seems thin, but it also have a low temperature thingy. If you got the cash, use 15W 50. But if you want you can use Magnatec. I do..
