I usually use Comma Classic Green 20/50 and here is how the inside of my engine looks like after commuting 70 miles a day everyday since engine fitted in November 2008 (Having LPG helps). Picture was taken a couple of weeks ago when I swapped to EFI:

Oil changed every 3000 miles and new filter every 6000. Currently using Mahle filters.

I recently ran out of my normal oil and needed to top up before driving from Farnham (Surrey) to Wembdon (Zummerset).

I couldn't get any green stuff anywhere so bought some of the Comma "Motorway" like in your link. It seems to be thinner to me, and the engine is more clattery with it in. I would avoid if doing any mileage.

I use the Comma Sonic 20/50 as it has more additives.
