i cant comment of the make of oil but you do need some very low temperature stuff to cope with your climate up there...

I put Mobil 1 in mine. As far as I'm concerned the best oil you can buy off the shelf. Costco sell it for £24 for 4L.

i use commo from my car parts supplier ....they used to/still supply formula 1 cars so good stuff  "RANGEISM WILL NOT BE TOLERATED"

Rob,
Mobil 1 for me too.
Costco sell it in Westhill

FUCHS Titan SuperSyn is the BMW OEM Preference. It's a bit expensive these days, I used to pick it up from G&S for £16 for 5L. 

I use Castrol Magnatec.

Just put Morris Lubricant 5/40 multivis fully syn on mine !!

Always used their oil from when I was bike racing and on the last two land rovers i have had !!

Yup - Magnatec is fully synthetic 5W 30.

I'm about to change the oil and wondered with the bmw vanos would 5w 30 or 5w 40 fully synthetic be better?

Still no answer to the above then. I am trying to find out the best/correct BMW M62 Oil choice. It seems 10w40 is correct but 5w30 is Ok. Which brand is BMW or Land Rover recommended for this engine?

there's a recommended lubricant info in the wiki, any help? ... - .- -.
