Needing advice on oil and gearbox oil.
Will prob be needing a full service pack as it will be getting a service before it goes in for an MOT.
Looking at the other advice you have given and it looks like it will be 5w-40 of some sort.

Hi
A 5w-40 is the best option for the engine.
http://www.opieoils.co.uk/c-656-5w-40.aspx
Out of those, the best ones are the Fuchs/Silkolene Pro S, Millers CFS NT/CFS, Motul 300V, Redline and Gulf Competition. The Motul 8100 X-Cess, Millers XFS, Shell Helix, Fuchs Supersyn and Mobil Super 3000 are good, cheaper alternatives.
You need an MTF for the gearbox and I would go with the Redline MTL, Amsoil MTF or Fuchs Sintofluid. The Millers EP 75w-80, Gulf Gear TX and Motul Motylgear are good cheaper alternatives.

The filters are via this link

Hi
The Edge 10w-60 is too thick, you want to go for a 5w-40.
Cheers
Tim

Hi
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 Fuchs/Silkolene Pro S, Millers CFS NT/CFS, Motul 300V, Redline and Gulf Competition. The Motul 8100 X-Cess, Millers XFS, Shell Helix, Fuchs Supersyn and Mobil Super 3000 are good, cheaper alternatives.
As a budget choice, a 10w-40 will be fine and I would either go for the Fuchs Syn MC, Shell Helix, Millers XSS/Trident or Motul 6100
http://www.opieoils.co.uk/c-657-10w-40.aspx
Cheers
Tim

Hi
I would say a good 5w-40 would probably be the way to go, unless you are getting high (over 125C) oil temps, then a 10w-50 is the best choice.
http://www.opieoils.co.uk/c-656-5w-40.aspx
http://www.opieoils.co.uk/c-659-10w-50.aspx
Out of those, the best ones are the Fuchs/Silkolene Pro S, Millers CFS/CFS Nanodrive, Motul 300V, Redline and Gulf Competition. They are all really good oils and up to dealing with the harsh conditions of trackdays.
Cheers
Tim

oil wise what would you recommend for an engine that has done about 90/100k which doesn't smoke or use oil that will soon be turbo'd? 5w*0 or a 10w40 semi or fully synth?

I would go for a synthetic 5w-40 or 10w-40.
