For my engine, I use Silkolene Pro S 15W50. Motul 300V is also recommended. I put Silkolene Silktran Syn5 in my box but others recommend Shell Helix something or other.
I'm also doing a service this week

Yeah, there's a few reports of Magnatec "breaking down" under the heat in a scoob engine.
Get a good quality brand like the Silkolene or Motul 300V. You only need a 5L tub as the oil capacity of the scoob (including filter) is 4.5L.
