Default Oil grades

Just a quick one.

I'm running an '03 GX Sport. Is there a specific grade of oil thats best at just doing all year round work?

On top of that, does anyone have any favourite brands?

The standard 10w40 shell helix semi synthetic, keeps most people happy

As above a good 10w40. I use Motul 300v 15w50 but its a turbo tuned.

If you go for a good company, you shouldnt really have any problems.

Just want to make sure before I go to Helfrauds tomorrow. A good brand 10w40 semi-synth is what to look for?
