So what should I go for? 5/40 or 10/40? and what brand? Car just had usual manifold, exhaust and piper 270s in.
Thanks

Hi,
It depends on how good you want to go and how much you wish to spend.
The cost option is for a 10w-40 semi synthetic with very regular oil changes. The quality choice is for a 5w-40 and 0w-40 full synthetic and these last a lot longer.
Brand wise, our favorites are Silkolene, Fuchs and Motul.
Cheers
Guy.
