What oil is best for the engine and if in need of top ups does this go in the dipstick hole or am I missing something, ive looked thought the handbook and it only states about testing oil levels and not where to refill??

Yep. Should have a small funnel in the TVR toolkit in the boot which fits in the dipstick pipe. Top up slowly and check periodically.

10/40 Semi Syn is what I use and is also the only oil Dom will allow in his rebuilt engines.
Filler is same as the dipstick hole - large bore pipe that goes into the oile header tank.
