Redline consider 15W-50 much too thick for UK everyday driving ... do a search before you buy thick oil like that!

From Redline (who know about Oil):-

15W50


The ultimate high-temperature protection in Red Line engine oils recommended for street use. Good for engines that regularly run very high oil temperatures. Best for engines that run large clearances such as air-cooled engines or large-displacement, all-out racing engines that see occasional street use. Provides 25% more viscosity in bearings than petroleum 20W-50s. Not recommended for use in cold climates where temperatures are at or below 10°F or -12°C.

****Not recommended for street use in production engines that see sustained oil temperatures below 225°F (those engines should use Red Line 10W-30 or 10W-40).****

ie. do NOT use 15W-50 for normal UK street use ........... you will at best lose power, at worse - damage your engine!
