    Did you try doing a search?

    Just make sure its fully synth, a main name between a 5w40 and 10w50 and meets ACEA A3:B3(or B4)

    I would put semi in a standard car but not one thats running 300bhp+. I would also change it more often (every 3-4k instead of every 6-8k)

    Well thats the trouble with oil, there are loads out there and everyone is an expect

    Facts are most are all similar in the job they do so pick one thats the right price for you. If its just a road car then a 5w40 will be fine, if you do a lot of track work then edge towards the 10w50.

    Thanks spoke to Matt at opie oils he recommended millars 5/40 full synthetic
    For 2a but for stage 3 and above and if alot of hard use go for 10/50

    You dont need to spend that much on a decent oil

    Look at Titan Supersyn 5w40 whioch is nearly half the price of the millers
