It's on the forum in the service section, and we have the manuals on the website and a useful table of lubricants here:-

Might be an iPad issue as it doesn’t keep me logged in even if I’ve checked the keep me logged in box.

Thanks

Thankyou for your input but I couldn’t find it in the workshop manual.  Also, it wouldn’t have any advice about modern equivalents.

Have a look in the Series 3 Workshop Manual.
Lubricants start at page 48.
Work through the section and at the end it gives the specification and recommended brand of oil.
Modern oil specs tend to surpass and be "better" than the OE oils of the day.

My best advice would be to sit down with a cuppa when you have some spare time  :coffee and browse through some manuals.
There's lots of useful information in these, especially at the front in the routine maintenance sections.
