Hi

At the moment I have mobil 1 (put in during last MOT) in there but am not sure whether it is 0, 5w or 10w 40? What do these figures mean?

Please can you explain the differences between these grades and what is normally used in a vts as I am a complete and utter noob when it comes to selecting an appropriate engine oil.

I am due to get some new oil soon - what should I get? Should I stick with the mobil 1 as I heard its a good oil? I do mostly motorway miles and spirited country road driving, but no track days.

Any help would be much appreciated

Cheers
