yes vauxhall oil is very good and fairly cheap

i use it in mine and compared to castrol stuff mentioned above it 10 times better on my engine in terms of smoothness and noise

Now I only use Bardhal XTR racing 10W 60.
It's a special racing oil that you can use everyday.
It's stable at 150 deg celsius, much better than Mobil 1, Castrol RS and other stuff that I have used. It's used in competition engines, which have to support max stress.
But vaux oil is ok if you want to spare some money.
Just change the oil and filter every 3K miles or 6 month, what comes first
