10w40 semi synthetic on standardish engines is fine or mobile1 motorsport fully synthetic 15w50 for highly tuned examples. Whatever oil you go for is really a personal thing as so many people have different views but whatever oil you do get just make sure its a good quality oil and is changed regular cvh's need looking after so every 5000 miles oil service is a good place to start

The Mobil 1 10/60 has replaced the 15/50. I've been using it with no problems and at only £30 for 5 litres from Matt Lewis, it's a winner IMO
