Default Which oil is best?

Planning an oil change, what oil do you recommend for a Classic MY00 with 117K on the clock. It’s currently running on 10-40 semi synthetic and I have no complaints so can’t see a reason to change. Anyone recommend any particular brand?

Stacks of threads about what oil on here. Try Alyn at AS Performance user name Stockcar on here. I got some Motul from him next day at very good price too.

You can run semi-synthetic 10w-40 but it's not best.

A fully synthetic oil is better, either 10w-40, 5w-40 or 10w-50 depending on what you use your car for and how modded it is.

If you want some advice then either PM or email me.

We have a good selection here: http://www.opieoils.co.uk/lubricants.htm
