Oilman is the boy to speak to, each and every car has a different oil recommendation, ie track, fast road, town or a car with breather mods, exhaust mods, or just oe will all be different. Also depending on where you are in the country I suppose, like in the winter Scotland can get alot colder than say Cornwall, so this will all make a difference to what thickness oil you use. I use 5/40 but equally 10/40 will be fine.
