well im tempted to give this a try
http://www.opieoils.co.uk/p-73732-mille ... e-oil.aspx#
but i dunno if its worth it on my engine being standard except from filter/exhaust, i get the impression its for newer/modded engines?

I always use Mobil 1. Not bad on price to. Halfrauds quite often have it on offer. I got a free decent screwdriver set with it last time

I have just bought the very same
the sump plug doesn't come with a washer if you got it from eBay.
