Giving the williams a service this week, got everything apart from the oil.
Ive made a search on here but theres so many oils i dont know which to use.

The cars got 101k on the clock, and normal road use (no track days etc)

The same brands keep coming up mobil 1, shell helix, millers, silkolene, mutul etc.

Which one shall i get? any advice.

Its just a case of opinion, i usually use shell helix just cus you can get it in any shell station, not cheap though, i need to order the other stuff.

Stay clear of mobil 1 though, not heard good things about it, esp not at higher temps

Doesn't matter too much tbh mate as long as it's changed regularly. Think everyone has their favourites though. Mine's Millers XSS 10W40

But then I also use Halfrauds semi-synth for topping up. :lol:

I also use Shell Helix 10/40 but top up with Halfords fully synthetic. Oil pressure has stayed at 3 bar when hot after c4000 miles.
