personal recomend if you're not into "brand names" is Miller's 10w60 full synth.........at £35/5ltrs (better prices for scoobynetters), you can't beat it..........and we use this in various rally/race cars incl. evo7 / sti4 / etc.........
alyn - as performance
the other oil we supply/use depending on customer is silkolene.......

Fully synthetic.

Trout, I think it was, who is a highly regarded member on here, with his great tech knowledge, did some tests on a track with the Motul 300V 15W/50, The Castrol RS 10W/60 and I think the Mobil 15W/50 and found that the Motul oil had the best oil pressure after doing the same number of laps on each oil.

I used to use the Castrol, but after this test, changed to Motul.

Cheers,

Wrexy.

all of the oils we use on regular basis are FULL ester based synthetics (i.e. properly refined / high quality)
we do offer a part synthetic 10w40 for those more budget minded which works out at £12.50/ 5ltrs................
