The oil is fine mate for everyday driving but if mapped to a higher degree the 10/40 would suit, I.e millers etc

thanks for the quick response on the oil problem so many diffrent sites giving out conflicting info... i will carry on using the 5/30 fully syn for the time being as its only a sport ....cheers for the reply ..

The 5w-30 is fine, but you can also use a 5w-40, not a problem with either.

Out of those, the best ones are the Fuchs/Silkolene Pro S, Millers CFS/CFS NT, Motul 300V, Redline and Gulf Competition. The Motul 8100 X-Cess, Millers XFS, Fuchs GT1 XTL/Supersyn, Shell HX7/Helix and Mobil Super 3000 are good, cheaper alternatives.

Cheers
