i've heard good things about Mobil-1 and Castrol Magnatec, but never heard about their successes on FTO engines though'... I tend to service my car with Mobil-1 oil though', as they are pretty much the best money can get (without going into exotic stuff like Elf etc)

Do youself a favour and get Motul Turbolight Oil. Its the ultimate, dont use it for gearbox fluid though.

I used to fill up Castrol magnatec,too

The quality of oil you can use really depends on how often you replace it. If you are replacing it every 5000km, like I am because of my warranty requirements, then you can probably even use K-Mart oil

If you run your car for longer distances, say 5000-10000 km, then definitely use higher grades.

The best oils can last you up to 15000 km before you should really change them.

Got a mate who works 4 shell and has given me some 15-50 oil.
