You need to be using fully-synthetic oil, Mobil 1 is the choice of champions but costly of course. Plenty of other options out there, my advice is to find your local Camberley Auto Factors or other equivalent trade supplier, talk to them about the options they can supply and buy the best quality you can afford. Oh, and make sure your doing an oil change annually, dont wait the 2 years in between normal services.

The 5W/30 will be fine for your car.

Yes the 5W is fine, nice of them to make an oil specially for us isnt it! Always wavered towards Mobil 1 myself which is 0W, it costs but its alway done me proud whatever car/bike i've stuck it in.
