Ignore semi and syn oils, you want old jollap mineral 15/40, posh oil is a waste of money in the tdis.
There is no need to upgrade (and I use that word sarcastically) the oil from what was specced when they were current.
Take a look at Mannol on ebay in 20 litre tubs.

Fancy oil will probably go past the oil control rings, glaze the bores, and eventually scuff the pistons.
When syn oils were a new thing years ago, I had a 300 and thought got to be worth a try? holy shti batman it drunk as much oil as fuel!
