At 300 bhp i would of thought 75/90 Castrol Syntrax/Driveline would still suffice

The best engine oil for you is the SIlkolene Pro S 10w-50

Silkolene Pro S 10W-50 Ester Synthetic Oil

Castrol Syntrax is fine for the gearbox, although Motul Gear 300 is a better choice

75w-90 Gear oil

Normally it's just a couple of days to deliver, but the weather at the moment may add a day or two to that. We have the filter

OIL FILTER: UFI spin-on oil filter 23.259.00

Cheers
