Havoline Premium 15W-40
(Previously Havoline Formula3 15w-40)
A premium performance, multigrade engine oil suitable for naturally aspirated and turbocharged gasoline, diesel or LPG engines in passenger cars, vans, and light commercial vehicles.

Specially formulated to provide complete engine protection against starting friction, heat stress and engine deposits.
i think they were in 5 litre packs and IIRC they were only around £17/£18 (could be wrong ! )

I have used Havoline 5w 40 fully synthetic in my last wrx V8, and will probably be using it again in my V7 Sti, quality oil.
The best thing about it is the price, Texaco garages sell it for £9 - £10 a litre, wheras Morrisons petrol stations sell exactly the same Texaco Havoline 5w 40 FS for £5 a litre.
IMHO £25 for 5 litres of fully synthetic 5w 40 is tremendous value, esp as I change the oil every 5K.
