10W/40 Semi-Synthetic will be spot on for Diesel or Petrol 406's.

Comma oil is good, along with the named brands like Castrol etc.

My favorite oil is Fuchs/Silkolene XTR 10W/40 but it's tricky to get hold of locally.

I wouldn't worry too much about the make of oil to be honest, most stuff offered in the trade will be fine (like Comma oil etc).
