Hi,
Looking to change the oil for the first time. RS2 manual specifies "improved Lubricity Multigrade Oils" SAE 5W-30/5W-40 or SAE 10W-30/10W-40.
What brand names does everybody use?

i use castrol magnatec 10-40 still, but will be moving over to castrol RS on next service as good reports from all.

IGOL Ceramic F1 seems to be the better choice for RS2!
Don't know if you can find it in UK.

I've used Mobil 1 5W-40 or 0W -40 since new.

I wouldn't use 0W oils, as they are too thin for the engine -it was designed for 5W or 10W. Coincidence or not, when my engine was blown a couple of years ago in service, they had put in 0W-30 Castrol.
Anyway, I've been using Castrol 10W-60 in the summer, and Mobil 1 5W-50 in the winter.

Im currently using Millers CFS 10W-60 which seems to be working very nicely, just done an oil change this weekend again with the same stuff so definetly recommend it.
