Would Mobil 1 also be suitable?

Thought it was 0W40? Costco, £36 for 5 litres (you're welcome Costco).

I buy Shell Helix in 20L drums costs anywhere from £85 to 100. Enough for a couple of changes and top ups if needed.

thanks for tip. I've just ordered 25L as it's the cheapest I've seen it- and that includes free delivery!

I note that Bespoke use Mobil Super 3000 5w/40 but the shell at this price is a bargain!
