Mark,

Do a search in drivetrain, looking back about a month or two. There was a big debate about which oil to use.

I think the upshot was Motul or Castrol RS 10/60w.

I've decided to use Mobil 1 Motorsport 15/50w for the winter months, and use Castrol RS 10/60w during warmer months.

Andy, where do you get Castrol RS 10w60? The places near me now only stock the 0w40 flavour which is too thin.
