When I had a wedge (and will have again one day I hope) I used Magnatec at first, then moved onto Halfords semi-synthetic.

I use Valvoline Racing 20W-50 and change it every couple of thousand miles:

I did a lot of research on this forum and this is what most people appear to be using.

Motul 300V Comp. 15W 50 works for me. That and Silkolene Pro are the 2 top oils in the opinion of Opie Oilman
