Castrol Magnatec or the Fuchs Titan GT1 range if you have plenty of $$$. Otherwise, Fuchs TITAN SUPER GTO 10W30 or TITAN CFX 10W30

Depends on vehicles current km's If it's fairly low km's, then you could easily go with a semi-synthetic oil If it's high km's then DON'T use any synthetic oils/mix's or otherwise.
Pretty much any 15/40 for low kms, 15/50 for high kms

Still pretty low kms. Castrol Magnatec 10W-40 should be sweet. I run it in my '96 Sentra.

Magnatec or Penrite 10-50 Plus 10. Depends how well the engine is holding up.

Then you take the brochure with a special price of $35 to Mega10 and you get 15% off that and buy 3 or 4 for under $30 each. Stevo

so whats wrong with the 20-40 at the warehouse for $17 litre and before you all go snob value, have YOU actually had a problem with it, if so - what!, of even have a personal mate who has had a problem with it!
point is I've used it or similar for many years, and never had an engine failure, the kids in the family have blown 2 engines due to lack of regularoil changes that finally seized the cams - primera and mazda laser, both had run for more than 3 years with just topups - no full changes and no fliter changes - both used the cheapest oils you could find at the time ( usually dads bottle in the shed being even cheaper) but I seriously doubt the failures would have been prevented by treating even a dearer oil in that manner
