Engine oil - UK recomendations?
After reading THIS thread about oils I didn't seem to be that clearer about what to go for. I know Honda recommend a 4 stroke 10w-40 SE, SF or SG rated, but a lot of people have said to go down the semi synthetic route. A close friend recommended, Rock Oil - Guardian 10w-40 semi.
I'd be happy to hear what the rest of you guys actually use ?.

The old oil topic
hmmm.....
I had an interesting talk to Naga_Thai ( Martin ) about this at the Airport the other day ..
but I will leave that out of this for the moment..
I use just about any quality 20-50 engine oil and without ANY ISSUES
ATM - Castrol ... costs no more than $50.00 per 5 lts
