It's service time, what are your recommendations for Oil?
Bog standard, Semi or fully synth?
I know this is probably opening a can of worms, everyone has their preferences so what do you all use?

Black stuff?
The best I've used IMO has been Rock Oils 10w40 semi synth.

I've used and always used Mobil 1 R4T fully sythetic oil, only used semi for running in. Never had any problems at all, gear change is smoother etc.

Semi-synth is best. I should be hooking up with Putoline soon, so watch this space for some good deals.
