I run Silkolene PRO S 10W-50 Ester Synthetic Oil in mine, Opie oils sell this for £49.98 delivered with PASSION as a discount code.

Any 15W-40 will do the job. After running in I would go for a good 5W-50 oil.

Millers CRO is ideal for running in

I would say a good 5w-40 would probably be the way to go when it's run in, unless you are getting high (over 125C) oil temps, then a 10w-50 is the best choice.

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.

Cheers

Tim
