      If you want Castrol RS 10/60 - try ordering it from their website
      http://www.castrolclassicoils.co.uk/

      Bad points - only comes in 4L and 1L bottles, and for the S2 you need 4.5L

      If you want Millers Competition 10/60 try contacting Lee on this forum, although I've not seen him about here for a while. Comes in a 5L bottle so works out more economical than the Castrol.

      I've used both in my engine. It certainly helps to keep the oil pressures up with the sort of (ab)use I give my S2 in the way that the 10/40 oil I had before absoloutely did not.

          Alternatively try "Millers oils" here
          The 10w60 is listed in the motorsport section, they also have a stockist locator in case you don't want to buy online.
          Comes in the all important 5 litres ,saves on buying a 4 + 1 litre

                      I didn't realise Valvoline did it. I'm sure it'll be ok, they're a reputable oil manufacturer.

                            Think you'll find we're enthusiasts, ie drive it like it was made for so most of us here run this oil

                              Well what do you put in yours?? castrol GTX

                              You'd be suprised what conditions your oil is subjected to in a performance car like these, especially if its modified.

                              Im still with castrol RS at the moment, used to use valvoline for ages but their prices shot up to stupid amounts at my local stockist, i'd still be using it otherwise, great stuff.
