I'm sorry, I thought you were in North America. I had forgotten that overseas they make a 10w40 Mobil 1. I'd still try to find some 10w30 if I were you though (mailorder perhaps?), it'll still offer more than enough protection even when it's 40C.

Re: What oil do you use? Well the only reason why I use Mobil 1 in the Camaro (and the PF 44) is because I once had an 87 Shelby Lancer (2.2 intercooled turbo) and I blew the headgasket at 185,000 miles pulled the head and it looked new in there. The cam and rocker arms were almost perfect and The cylinder walls were nice and smooth no ovaling from the years the of abuse and it is noticable quiter at startup so less wear there. However my 4.3 powered Blazer has 170,000 miles on it and it gets whats on sale.
