Vx 10 40 W semi or similar is the normal recommended on here, Castrol is ok but can lead to Mayo build up.

4 litres isnt enough for oil change, and Halfords currently offer 10 40 W semi for £10 for 4 Litres at the moment, till stocks last!.

Or that, in fact Halfords are also doing 5 40 W Full Synth also for £10 4 litres at the mo, but would order and reserve on line as think it expires tonight or tomorrow.  :y

Never had a 2.2 petrol think its 4.5 or 5 litres, but someone would need to confirm.
