Just to add more confusion - I own a 166 3.2V6, 240bhp. As far as I understand it this is the same engine as in the GTA but with a different plenium chamber and air intake to produce the increased 250bhp. No reason for any different temperature or oil I would think, unless the GTA hooligans are expected to rag it all the time!

The 166 handbook recommends Selenia Racing 10W-60 for the 2.0 T.Spark, Selenia 20K 10W-40 or Selenia Performer 5W-30 for the 2.5, 3.0 & 3.2 V6s.

But I run my 3.2 on Selenia Racing 10W-60. Jamie Porter sells 5 Litres for £36 inc. VAT.
