I have a 2002 VTS, but its tuned to 157bhp. Currently on 90k mileage, used everyday.. not driven very hard to be honest.

Is this oil okay?
I would use a 5w-40 synthetic and you will find those through the link below.

http://www.opieoils.co.uk/c-656-5w-40.aspx

Out of those, the best ones are the Silkolene Pro S, Millers CFS, Motul 300V, Redline and Gulf Competition. The Motul 8100 X-Cess, Gulf Formula G, Fuchs Supersyn and Mobil Synt S are good, cheaper alternatives.

The Magnatec 5w-30 is a bit thin and basic for the best protection in a tuned VTS
