I use 10w40 synthetic in mine the mg has run on it for 8 years and my lx auto and clubman are on it too, they are low mileage though.
Our first Mg Maestro 2.0i ran on fully synthetic from new and clocked up 125k when i sold her the engine was as new never used any oil and pulled like a trian the oil was clean too

That is not so stupid. I once watched a Bentley driver out of oil poke loads of bananas down the top of the engine...it was in Greece, and it rattled on all the way to the finish on the Peking Paris.

I use Unipart silver 10W/40. Carlube 10W/40 is okay too and a reasonable price.M&MOC Committee Member - Archivist
