I think its all down to choice realy, some would say put Synta silver (recomended oil) in it but I just put 10/40 semi synthetic in mine (its on 141,000) and its been fine so far  :smiley:

wouldn't even waste yer money on semi synth at that mileage

Go for castrol gtx high mileage or an equivelant oil but nothing too expensive
