What Oil?
Hello people my scooby is going in for its first full service on friday and my mechanic friend has recomended I supply him the oil as what they use in his workshop is not up to the job (MG Dealer) ?
He has recomended is Castrol RS 0/40 but what are your recomendations for a Classic 97 UK Turbo?
Any input would be apreciated ?
Thanx Chris...

do a search on oilman - he's the expert and his company Opie Oils sells all the best brands at reasonable prices - he would probably recommend a 5W40 Fully Synthetic as a good all round compromise.
