Top choice is for a 5w-40 synthetic, if you want the very best of these then its the ester based synthetics such as the Silkolene Pro S, Motul 300v, Redline and Gulf Comp.

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

I would use a 5w-40 synthetic and you will find those through the link below.

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

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

As a budget choice, a 10w-40 will be fine and I would either go for the Fuchs XTR or Motul 6100

5w-40 is ideal, changed every 10,000-12,000 or once a year, what ever comes first.

Loads to choose from http://www.opieoils.co.uk/c-656-5w-40.aspx
