What's the best oil for my 52 plate v40 1.6s thanks

The manuals recommend 10W40. Personally as I always do a filter change with every flush, and this requires 4.5l of oil I use a 4l tub of Castrol Magnatec (preferred) or Castrol GTX and a 450ml bottle of oil additive.

The basic answer is, the best you can afford. Cheaper oils dont usually have the anti wear, longer lasting agents in that premium brands do.
