go onto opie oils website & you can put in your car details & they will give you a choice of replacement or better oil to use. Most people use them as they give club member discounts - also known as the 'Oilman' on here.

Our site recommendations are a bit odd at times, ignore that, we're working on getting it right. Go for a good 5w-40

http://www.opieoils.co.uk/c-656-5w-40.aspx

Out of those, the best ones are the Fuchs/Silkolene Pro S, Millers CFS, Motul 300V, Redline and Gulf Competition. The Motul 8100 X-Cess, Millers XFS, Fuchs Supersyn and Mobil Synt S are good, cheaper alternatives.

Cheers

Tim
