Switching is an old wives tail, you need an oil which can withstand the thermal stresses of being run through a turbo charger, you need a good synthetic. I'd run 5w-40 full synth from Castrol or Mobil, whichever you prefer. You have more high quality oil options over there in the UK than we do here and 5W-40 is more readily available as it's more common for European cars like BMW's and Mercedes.
