I use mobile one and change the oil every 3k miles, but do a search as there are massive number of threads on this topic and lots of people have different opinions,.
good luck

Silkolene ProS, Motul 300V, Mobil 1, Millers..... all good, though you may want to discuss the correct viscocity with someone who knows their $h!t Higher mileage engines may need a slightly thicker oil, so maybe a 10W50. I use a 5W40 on a 35k engine.

Oilman (Simon). Expert knowlege, good prices, great service

I've always used 5w40, but have recently changed to 10w50 on the advice of a mr rawle will probs go back to 5w40 in the cold weather though if I can be bothered, which is unlikely

Make sure you do the Scoobynet (TM) **** Oil Change Procedure. At the very least pre-fill the oil filter IMHO.
