I must admit to being slightly paranoid at present and want to get this fitted before I use her again.
In terms of the oil to be used, can I please have some advice on the viscosity i need to be using going forward and for the long term. Do i stick with the Mobil 1 0-40 or go thicker with 5-40 etc.I would be looking to change it every 6 months or 3,000 miles assuming i have no dreaded 'alerts' in the meantime.
What make oil should i be looking for and it be available here in the UK?
Very grateful for any advices...

While there is nothing inherently wrong with changing your oil every 3,000 miles, I think that is a bit overkill. Porsche recommends every 12,000 miles for your car (mine too), and while I find that a bit underkill, somewhere in between should do nicely.
Do a search on the type of oil It will depend on how you drive it, and there is a ton of info on the subject here.
