Re: Engine oil
I would be using a high quality ester synthetic of at least 10w40 ideally at that power maybe go for 10w50. You will pay at least 50 for 5 litres I'd have thought.
Re: Engine oil
Would this be any good Castrol Edge 10W60
Re: Engine oil
The power is completely irrelevant. More important is how much play is in the bearings/pistons/shafts and how cold it gets where you are.
A 60 weight oil is still pretty thick at higher temperatures and lends itself well to forged motors with 4032 alloy pistons or older motors with large clearances.
For all others I would suggest 40 or max 50 weight oil.
The winter index in most parts of europe i good enough with 5 or 10.

Re: Engine oil
If you have a standard toyota ecu, then you should use the oil that you said. 10/40 semi.
