I can recommend oilman of Opie Oils. Simon is a top guy, very knowlegable and always willing to help and advise. If you PM or even call him he'll tell you what's best for your car and driving style (ie. do you track occasionally/regularly/never, or drive hard, or maybe do loads/no miles).

PS Lewis will be along in minute to recommend some sludge from the bottom of a tar pit in Grimsby. Ignore him

10w-50 is a good choice of viscosity for your car.
