I use GTX Magnatec 10W40, always works well for me 
Yeah the reason he recomended that oil is because thats what hell make the most profit off of, Vauxhall is the absolute cheapest even compared to a drum of the same quantity with the vauxhall in plastic cans.
Well its when there is so much difference between 20K miles from one driver to another. For example give somone like Arnold (haha) a car with a 20K service intervall it will probably expolode, give the same car to somone sensible.. hmm cant think of anyone sensible here, and it would be ok. at least 10K gives a margin for error

lmao! I treat my car to regular services! I've lost count how many dizzy caps, leads, rotor arms, water changes etc that thing's had! Shes had a rough life, but i have spent alot on keeping it going
i use 10/40 Castrol GTX oils in mine, although for some reason, it does run better on Halfords own
basically the first number indicates the thiness of the oil , ie 10w40 is thinner on start up than 15w40 , however they are both the same thickness when warm as the 2nd number is the same , in this case 40.
the lower the first number the better it is on cold starts.etc
stick with a 10w40 oil unless your engine has done over 100k on the clock
