Default What oil to use

Hi guys i recently last Wednesday bought a Escort Cossie large turbo model. Done a quick check on it on Friday and the oil was low, topped it up to the 3.8 litre mark which is reccomended onlky to find yesterday it was back down at minumim again yesterday. The mechanic ewho done my work put in 5 w 30 as that is what it supposedly reccomended to put in, Where as the tuning company i was with yesterday said it should either take 10w40 fully snthetic or 10w50.
Can someone shed some light on this please for me. Also does anyone have any suggestions on how it is burning oil so quickly.
What oil is best to use?
