The question on which oil to use has been argued in these pages many times. I personally use Mobil 1 Motorsport 15w-50. It's expensive (£35 for 4L from Halfwits). Alternative is 5w-40 from France. What is generally not recommended is the 0w-40 which is like bat's piss!

Filter is std. V8 Landrover/Rangie.

Genuine filter is about £6, if you can get the oil from France it is so much cheaper I think from memeory I paid about £20 in a hypermarket as mentioned before just keep an eye on the viscosity.

Std Landie oil filter was £8 from Halfwits!
Confirm Mobil 1 is about £20/4L in Frogland.
