hmmmmm lots of debate about what type of oil is good......
fully synthetic is best for newer cars, were as semi is best for older cars as its thicker so keeps engine quieter
i used to use semi-GTX magnatec!! £23 for 4.5 litres!!!!!!!!!!!
and what a load of SHITE it was!!
im now using VAUXHALL 10-40 semi oil, £8.50 for 5litres!!! 
engine runs better, not half the amount of noise from tappets, and doesnt burn as quick as the GTX!
but depends on the engine and type of use, but i guess for the long term a very expensive oil "suited to the engine" is better for your engine
