This one will go on forever...
I used to use fully synthetics in everything, but decided they can be a bit too aggressive for old engines, so I use a good semi-synthetic on n/a engines now instead (still fully synthetic on turbo's).
Comma Eurolite's 10-40's been my staple for the last 4-5 years.
Castrol can drokk right off after they slowly reduced pack size while keeping price the same over the years and then even changed magnatec from fully to semi without telling anyone! (think they've changed it back now?)

With the extra power it gets too hot for the 10W 40 when you give it some

FUCHS TITAN GT1 5W-40 XTL - Best I have tried so far - but MOTUL 5W-40 XCESS is good.

Should add, in my CX turbo's (despite their age) I use Shell Helix Ultra 5W-40.
The oil in those runs well hot and the garage my dad used to get his serviced at would only use that cause they'd learnt it was the only oil their 6R4 and rs200's wouldn't munch for breakfast!

Yer other way round.
I used to use the Comma 5w50 in my S before it blew and i partially blame that oil for it blowing. I burnt so much oil as it was too thin.
