Yep it was 0w- oil. Most owners run the first change through as 0w and then change to the previous grade. The car is still £0 tax as it runs off the tested rating and doesn't include mods.

Also worth noting that apart from those who knew and complained a lot nobody (AFAIK) had an engine fail because of the "piston slap". In fact quite a few older engines also had this at higher miles - allegedly. Also quite a few engines with it are still happy at over 130K miles.
