I use Vauxhall 5w30, buy it on trade. Us it on my Integra.
The Vauxhall 5w30 is re-branded Fuchs group 4 (100% synthetic) it's very good oil.
Most of the fully synthetics such as Halfords sell are not true synthetics, most are only group 3, and yet they will still cost more than what i'm paying for above.

10w40 semi synth, Okar brand, tempted to switch to 5w40 fully synth ( manual doesn't recommend a specific standard but shows a table which oil to use depending on environment temps...) but for now it will do, I might switch the next time I do the filter and oil change...
On an S2000??
I'm not into this high price / marketing stuff crap, but S2000 should be on a good fully synthetic, such as Fuchs or Shell.

0W-30, but I have not needed to use any yet.
I hear that it all comes from the same place anyway.

Mineral 20W50, it's like treacle
I found 2L of that left over from my Hyundai on the weekend. ended up dumping it at the tip as I doubt I'll ever have a use for it. The price ticket on the top said £3.49 for a 5L can

Corsa gets 10w40 of the cheapest Halfords stuff and my Spitfire gets 20w50 Classic Oil.
It's curious how the newer the car, the thinner the oil gets.
