Same as any other scoob! Its no different - I think the dealers recommend Castrol RS 15 40, which only them and a few companies sell. I think Power Engineering sell it.
I stuck GTX magnatec in mine last time, good as anyhing. Ring the dealer if you want to be cautious.

The make of oil seems to differ from dealer to dealer, mine (S.G.Petch in Richmond) have been using Shell Helix Ultra for some time. The viscosity is the important thing not the manufacturer.

Viscosity is the the important thing really. I use Castrol RS10-60 which has been recommended by several in the know...
Use Fully Synthetic and not Semi Synthetic.
And have a look at the latter part of this monster thread for oil advice!!!

Along with Jons link, 
have a read of these threads too. You'll need a good hour to read all, but they are very informative. Most of the experts have written on these threads and on the monster one that Jon advised. Every scoob owner should read these when deciding on oil.
