Castrol RS 10-60 comes highly recommended!

Anything fully synthetic and around 10W and 40-60 temp rating should be ok!

mobil 1 motorsport 15/50 is the oil mainly used by cossie owners.... make sure its the 15/50 and not the 0/40 as the cans are similar

Over here there are following oils used for high performance turbocharged petrol engines:

-Castrol TWS10W60 (and RS10W60 which is older generation - over 10 years on the market)
-Motul 300V Competition 15W60
-Valvoline Racing 10W60

note that Valvoline is not fully syntetic, still all of them are top quality.
