Hiya Shells.
TBH i'd contact our Site Sponsor and Christmas Comp supporter 'Oilman' @ Opie Oils telling him the age of your car, the mileage, the type of use etc and let him advise.
Prices as good as anywhere and fantastic service from experience.........

well everyone (almost) here has a different opinion in this subject ..
ill just put a list for you with the most recommended/used oils here :
All are 5W40
Castrol edge
Mobil1
Elf evolution /900sxr (not sure if they are the same)
Shell ultra helix
some uses motul 300v too /Motul 8100
fuchs race pro s
you can get from opieoils
P.s also millers but i cant remember which type exactly .
and if youll need gearbox oil too so go for ELF Nfp 75w80 (make sure its the new formula-that meets the requirements for TL4 boxes)
or Fuchs 75w80 -those seems to be the most used in these boxes(i highly recommend the new nfp one)

I can vouch for oilman also - you might have trouble accessing him because he's in the Trader section...paid members only, Shells

I've used this seller before for buying Elf, very recently in fact. Good deals and they dispatch the stuff quickly.

If you get 5 ltrs you might need more between 0 to 400ml.
Depend how well you drained the previous oil .
As shuv said just get another liter just incase.
Personally i end up putting 5.1-5.2 (sometimes even 5 is enough)
Anyhow 100-200ml wont be harmfull .
