now i dont know what to get

thats what i used in mine too. reminds me of the old skool duckhams hypergrade green oil.
went to halfords to get a few bits. saw they had some fully syn 5/50 oil and the 10/40 part syn. I know that the first number is for the viscosity of the oil when cold and the second number when hot, but how do these numbers work is it the higher the number the thicker the oil or what? also is it better for oil to be thin when cold then thick when hot? (i know it will all ways be thinner when hot but compared to other oils i mean). I dont mind paying the extra cash if its worth it but if its not going to make any difference there is no point, It dose say its for track which would be good as the car is going to get thrashed. wot do you guys think? .
