    I use Mobil 1 fully synthetic 0W-40. Not cheap, but a great oil:

    Mobil 1 0W-40 Advanced performance synthetic engine oil
    Phil Thomas

    Then - Yellow 1.6 16V (not quite standard!)
    Now - Schumacher GP Prodrive

    0w-40 is for track days and extremely heavy use, normal and occasional blast, is 5w-40

    I use Selenia Racing 10w60 as recommended by Selenia. Originally it was Selenia 20k 10w40 that was recommended but I noticed they changed their website...

    I get the feeling that they think the 10w40 just isn't giving enough protection to the engine and that that may be the reason for a few big-end issues that everyone says the 5-pot is suceptible to... that's just my opinion though! :)
