You want a 100% Ester fully synth brand e.g. Millers, Silkolene. Motul, Mobil etc.

Low temp 'Winter' SAE needs to be 5W, 10W or 15W (preferably the latter two). The hot SAE needs to be 40 or 50 (60 considered too thick in today's modern motors).

Might be a good idea to fit a 15W-50 in an engine with that milage...

(See Oilman's "16 questions about oil..." thread in the archived topics section for great info, etc...)

The highly recommended, and widely used amongst Scoob owners, Silkolene Pro R 15W-50 race spec oil is what I'd plump for

Available from Opie Oils as mentioned, or RCM, amongst others.
