THIS!  It's a fairly large displacement, low-revving, and understressed engine. Any decent quality oil in the right approximate viscosity (see owner's manual) should be fine.
That said, I like my T6. I change it about every 3,000 miles in the 300D, so it's probably expensive overkill. However, it also meets the specs for use in my Triumph, so I only have to buy one oil for both vehicles.
