Don't understand what all this worrying is about.
I know its not a 1.6 but with my 2.0 i do an oil change every 6 months and use Shell helix 10w40 or similar and the engine is sweet as a nut.
Keep the oil changes in sync with the sort of driving or mileage you do and yu'll be sorted.
Just as another point, dropped my oil on Friday after 4500k and even today when it was checked the oil was still clean. Amazing!!!
