Oil I used.
Make sure you can undo the filler plug before draining the old oil, 2 bottles is all I needed and I still have some left in the 2nd bottle.

The only annoying thing with the bottle is that it does not come with a pouring tube so you will need an old one from another bottle or use some sort of funnel to pour the oil in.

Thanks Mark! I'm having the garage do it whilst he's doing the engine oil and a few other bits, just wanted to get the right oil before taking it down.

Whereabouts in Somerset are you mark? I'm in Dorset,Somerset boarder so you're probably not too far away.

Not far from you by the sounds of it, I'm about 10 miles north of Yeovil up the A37.
