Right chaps gather round im out of the UK at the moment 30 degrees already ahem..... anyway been looking at what you have been recommending the last week heres my details..

4.0HC fully decatted 107,000 miles new stealth cam 2000 miles ago i was told a good quality 20/50 oil was put in after the cam change..(indie TVR garage didnt say what brand but.. all is good) last oil change before that was Mobil 1 15/50 which is no longer available

ive a choice between these quality oils

Mobil 1 10/60 - a safe bet?

Valvoline VR1 20/50 - Daz and a few others use it

Fuchs titan race 10/50 - slightly thinner than mobil 1 when cold

Millers CSS 20/60 - high zinc content?

i know we have covered zinc content/viscosity etc etc and the RV8 is bombproof but everybody's engine is slightly different on here is it any one of the 4 oils above for the mileage ive done and decatted with stealth cam or does ONE oil stand out for my particular engine?

your feedback much appreciated gentleman
