Halfords Semi-synth in the green tub has always done the job for me.

Don't get too drawn into the brand name on the oil. It really doesn't matter that much - just change it regularly (6K miles for me).

The handbook says 10w30, but not very common in uk. 0w,5w,or 10w40 will all be ok.
Just get a decent quality semi, or fully synthetic.
Happy shopper 10w40 mineral oiljust wont do!!!!!

The 4th gen handbook gives a range of viscocities for different ambient temperatures.

10w-40 is recommended for temps -20 to 40 degrees and upwards.

Opie Oils have Gulf Competition 5W40 on special offer now, for £39ish for 5L. This is a full ester synthetic and just about the best you can put in an engine, I have some in my 2.2 VTEC and the car is super smooth and quiet, and feels faster too. Voucher code is GULF15. No affiliation!

Fully or part this is the question lads? To much choice.
