0W40, 5W40, 10W40

all above grades are fine

semi syn if you're cheap, fully syn if you love your car

If your feeling flush Motul 300V 5w40 is excellent but expensive. Mine was filled with it by mistake by Ktec

i was using that for ages, great stuff, doubt the op will use it though.

running on BTM stuff now. smooth as hell at 5w40 iirc

Mines got whatever Rentech use at the moment. I'm going to treat her with Motul 300V again next year though in time for my trackdays.

my friend use mobil 10w60 and the car sounds much more silent

^is it running some crazy engine?

if it's just an everyday road car, no particular tuning done, any 5w40 fully synth will do. Something with any significant tuning or that sees the track, i'd opt for something a bit more flash. Fuchs Titan is good and very well priced.
