I always used to put Mobil 1 Motorsport 15W-50 in my RST, it's readily available from Halfords.

That oil is abit thin for mine, my turbo isn't in the best of health and it drinks that oil. The 15w50 lasts alot longer in mine.
Mobil1 15w50 is expensive from halfords though.

10w-40 is fine, but I am sure Mobil 10w-40 is a semi synthetic not a full synthetic.

Whoever told you that was wrong. Synthetic is fine, just better quality. Use the correct viscosity.
