Motul 7100 is good but quite expensive. I had good experiences with it. Not sure if its just me but it seemed like it holds heat better? My temp gauge always seems to hold steady at three bars when not stopping and my N400 feels smoother for shift changes.
Motul 5w-30 [or 5w-40 when ambient temp is above 80] 8100 X-clean EFE, based on IAG's recommendation for the FA20
I live in the same area with the same motor and run Motul 300V competition 5w40 on my high mileage track car at the recommendation of my mechanic
I normally use Mobil 1, but did experiment with a JDM brand called ENEOS. The engine seemed to run smoother with that engine than other brands I've tried before.
I would say 0w20 Motul 8100 is a solid choice.
I use Motul's 0w-20 "Eco-lite" and change about every 4-5 (or April-October really) with about 25 autocrosses and the highway driving to get to them.
I use Motul 300v 0w20, plus oil analysis from Blackstone Labs, currently every 6k miles until they tell me otherwise

Check the oil recommendation in the manual and then go with castrol edge or motul if you want to go the safe by the books route.
