Redline.

It's very expensive, around $30 per litre and you'll need about 5-7 liters if I remember right but you will notice a massive difference. The car changes gear instantly, it's amazing stuff.

I'm not sure which one I would recommend because I have a manual, but I think at work we use Conoco or Mobil, I forget which one, but other brands should be alright like Castrol.

Ask some of the guys here on what oil they use in there auto's, you will get a better answer.
