I use Comma semi synthetic 10/40 and have done for 10 years in wife's 106. No engine wear and uses no oil. Ditto in son's 1997 1.1 106 which has done over 30,000 miles in 2 years (50,000 in total)
IMO fully synthetic is just too good for such a simple engine imo..The extra costs is not justified. Semi sythetic is good enough..

I buy Total 9000 on my anual trip to a French supermarket, fully synthetic and cheap.
