if you want whatever you can go an buy mate, get Mobil 1 Motorsport, the new stuff
however you might find its not too good in the winter for starts, though lots of people dont have a problem with it so im sure you will be fine, if you do, then you can add some Mobil 1 0W-40 to it.....
they do a 10W-40 semi mate if thats what you want, but why have a semi when you can have something thats more advanced
your garage would have advised you this because most synthetic oils are 0W-40.......which its argued is too thin for older cars.....
the Silkolene on that site, the Pro...
either that or the 10W-50 mate, an thats for 5L though mate.......not the usual 4L
the 10W-50 should be better for cold starts but will obviously have slightly more additives, however in a fully synthetic that really isnt a problem.....
Silkolene comes in 5L bottles which is very handy for the price, you only need 1 x 5L bottle, even for a 16v....
the Pro S / Pro R is the one to go for....
jus cos Halfords recommend it doesnt mean its the best one to use.....
in most cases fully synthetic is the best to use, but for whatever reason people shy away from using it on older cars, my cars got 5W-40 in it, and it runs sweet as f**k, the best its ever run.....an ive tried lots of oils.....
Mobil 1 Motorsport is a good oil, though i found it sh*te for cold starts in winter, however, you do have a 16v which will run hotter than my RT, but i still dont reckon its a good winter oil
personally id go for Silkolene - http://www.a-pp.comwww.a-pp.com
