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, Motul 300V, Redline and Gulf Competition. The Motul 8100 X-Cess, Millers XFS, Fuchs Supersyn and Mobil Synt S are good, cheaper alternatives.
As a budget choice, a 10w-40 will be fine and I would either go for the Fuchs XTR, Millers XSS or Motul 6100
http://www.opieoils.co.uk/c-657-10w-40.aspx
Cheers
Tim

Full synthetic is better. Semi/part is a cheaper option

Hi, with regards to gearbox oil noticed you used to recommended 75w/90 but now its 75w/80. Which one gives better protection during hard use on a standard vts box?

I'd go with a 75w-80, just a good quality one like the Amsoil MTF, Redline MTL or Fuchs Sintofluid would be ideal

If it is driven with plenty of spirit, then 5w-40 synthetic is the way to go. Loads to choose from http://www.opieoils.co.uk/c-656-5w-40.aspx
Cheers

A 5w-40 synthetic is the best choice (especially with the miles you're doing), a 10w-40 semi if you are looking for a cheaper option.
http://www.opieoils.co.uk/c-656-5w-40.aspx
http://www.opieoils.co.uk/c-657-10w-40.aspx
Fuchs Pro S, Millers CFS, Redline, Motul 300V and Gulf are the best options, Motul X-Cess, Fuchs Supersyn, Mobil Super 3000 and Millers XFS are in the middle and Fuchs XTR, Millers XSS and Motul 6100 are the cheaper options.
Cheers
Tim
