Default What oil in my Type R?

Hi, what oil should I use in my Type R? It's not gonna be in it for long as I'm only driving it 30 miles to the garage to have a leak sorted.

Thanks, Jordan

Anyone?! Please!!!

It's running 320bhp and is just my daily driver and not tracked (not yet anyway )

Some people say 10/60w, others say 10/40w and others Motul V300 15-50.

I just don't understand anything about it all!

What's the difference between 5w, 10w and 15w? And 40, 50 and 60 grades

Please help!

Default ..

any decent fully synthetic oil will do - 10w40, 10w50, 10w60, 15w50

Millers, Motul, silkolene, castrol, Mobile one

Personally i prefer millers 10w40 which is what i use in my own type r

Gotta be honest if its only gonna be in for 30miles would go with something cheap if its just for topping up for now semi/fully synthetic around the grades mentioned.
