I'd imagine it's 10/40.

10/40 or 15/40 semi or mineral, for me. Every 6 months or 6.000 miles. Never had any engine issues. I'm yet to be convinced that fully synth is suitable for older engines. Similar thoughts on my old motorcycles.

10/40 semi synth for the UK climate will be the service book recommendation, I would put money on it.
