According to most they are in no particular order
castrol RS 10w 60
Motul Comp 300v no too sure what weight may be 10w40
Redline oils cant remeber exact details
latter two have a very good base stock
I use castrol because in Dublin its the easiest to get...

Mine runs on Castrol Magnatec semi-synthetic... Dealer told me fully-synthetic would be too thin and run to one end of the engine in sharp corners and roundabouts... not sure if it's true but it sounds logical!

Silkolene Pro S 10w/50
As used by TSL and ScoobySport...as well as other good garages
Always check what oil your dealer puts in your scoob, its your engine not their's!
They are there to make a profit, and charging top price for cheap oil is a nice little earner. If it f#cks up your engine, they get paid to repair it...they can't lose

After 3.5K it was black and like water. I thought i was one synthetic till i call and checked with the main dealer.

Does anyone know where you can get Mobil 1 supplied in 4.5l containers because everywhere I have tried will ony sell it in a 4l container which is a pain in the **** because you need 4.5l to do a complete oil change.

Thanks guys ...
I guess a semi synthetic 10-50 / 15-50 or 60 is wot's needed, Castrol, Mobil Silkolene, or Motul ... The easiest to get hold of I guess is the Mobil or Castrol.
