My local Fiat Dealer uses Castrol GTX.

In asda you get 5l of 10w40 Castrol GTX for £12.97 (if its in stock) Any fully synthetic 10w40 oil will do nicely.

The last time when we made EP tests, Castrol was the first oil to let go. All Selenia oils are excellent and I use and recommend (to my racing clients)them solely in all applications including racing. BTW, Mountune has replaced Castrol a long time ago for their oill supplies.
