either 15 or 20W50 should be fine if you can get it at Halfords. 20W50 is just a little bit thicker when cold but both are 50 at 100C.

This was on another forum oil thread:-

"Back in the early to mid 90's, Ducati used to recommend AGIP Sint 2000 10W40 for the two valve bikes. Then a little later switched to AGIP 20W50 Super Racing. When Ducati got Shell sponsorship, they started recommending Shell. But still a 20W50. In warm weather, I recommend the 20W50 and when it gets colder, you can switch to 10W40 to help your motor turn over a little easier."
