What weight engine oil?

Search around a bit but could find no definitive answer to this question.

I've just purchased a FP Black turbo from Tom at TSComp. Oil is really expensive here in Australia and the only one on FP list of recommended oils that is reasonably priced here is the Brad Penn oil. I live near Sydney and winter temperatures range from 40 to about 85F, not real cold. So the question is, what weight oil do I go with, 10w-40, 20w-50, 15w-40.

Hey mate,

You could try Penrite 10 tenths oil has a high zinc rating which is recommended for the FP
10w40 would be suitable and its available from supercheap
