Buy your Mobil 1 from Costco if there is one nearby. £20-23 & Vat for 4/5 ltrs - cannot remember exactly.

Just stick with the Mobil 1 More likely to be 0W40 however any of the grades in the handbook are fine

take it to Kwik Fit, they will change your filter and replace your oil (with proper Mobil1) all for £39!!!

Yes, Kwik fit! They are not all bad, if you speak to the mechanic ahead of the oil change and let him know what you expect then all should be well. As the £39 is cheap enough you could slip him a few quid cash to do an 'extra special job' to ensure proper service if you are worried.
