A good quality 10w 40 semi/synthetic is fine.

I have used Shell Helix Ultra 5w 40 for many years, it's good stuff
comma stuff is cheap and cheerfull , been using for 8-9 years now

What about mobil 10w 40 semi synthetic

Yea fine I think.
use silkonlene pro race 15/50 in mine, expensive, but worth it i think
your turbo'd, doesnt count ;-)
i use cheap 15/40 semi synth from the motorfactors, think its comma, does the trick!
10w/50 pro s similar to diditno in the turbo
I wouldn't spend big £'s on expensive oil, I went through that phase when I first bought my Williams, waste of money imo. In fact some of the more expensive oils (Mobil 1 for example) was horrible oil.
Regular changes are the key.
I only use Helix Ultra as I get it cheap from CES in Chester. I have also used Helix semi syth which is good and fairly cheap.
