Best oil for T sports

[SanaYusuf]

I use Mobil 3000 5w30 fully synth but was having a browse on Opie Oils and that site seems to be recommending 5w40.

Was just curious as to what people generally prefer with their T sports?

The best grade of oil is that which the manufacturer recommends - see 

Brand of oil is a personal choice.

Thanks but already aware of the thread with recommendations,  was just curious as to what other owners use, 5w30 or 5w40

You know what Yusuf....all the service parts I've bought recently and I honestly can't remember what I've bought. My dad had the car 6 years before me and always used Castrol and had no problems so I'm sure that's what is in the shed. 

Got me thinking now 🤔

That's very odd as I bought Mobil 1 5W-30 as that's what Opie Oils was recommending for my compressor, but I think the boosted engine would be better on 5W-40 but both seem to work. Apparently 5W-40 is what Lotus recommend for their 2ZZ-GE fitted cars especially if taking on a track.
