You're supposed to use SU damper oil. Mainly due to the way it expands and contracts with the oil temp.
If you want that you can get it from burlen fuel systems @ http://www.sucarb.co.uk , classic car places tend to keep it as well.

Otherwise most people put 3-in-1 oil in there... available at any semi-decent DIY store...

10w/40 goes in just about anything. :D We've got a 2010 Focus, an 03 Megane, a 94 Discovery 300TDI, a 92 Discovery V8 and my 410, and they're all on GTX 10W/40.

Just looked at this thread and realised my post makes no sense in the context of the thread. :lol: That'll teach me to just read the last post and start typing.
