Default Which engine oil is best???

I just purchased a G plate saff yesterday and I noticed after the long journey home that the oil had decided to spurt out of the dipstick tube (poorly fittin dipstick)

As I have just got the car I am a little unsure of what grade/brand to buy to top it up so I plan on dropping the lot out and putting fresh in

any advice on the best oil to use would be greatly appreciated

Cheers

Can't really go wrong with SILKOLENE PRO S 10W50, or MOBIL 1 5W50, Matt Lewis sells this, 01543 484488, don't forget a filter too, I would also unless you know it's newish change the fuel filter as well.
As a new to you car give it a good look over, and if in doubt service change everything, will pay in the end to do so.
