If it suddenly breaks, go back to the last thing that you did before it broke and start looking there

The Jimny specifies 10w30, a VVT engine needs 5w30. (The 1st number is to do with the cranking resistance when cold, so I doubt if 5 or 10 makes any difference when it is running)
10w40 is allowed in the chart in the handbook, if you have the choice, get 10w30 over 10w40, as it will help the mpg
If you are buying Halfords oil, wait until they have an "offer" like "free" screwdriver set, as it is well overpriced otherwise.
Any semi-synthetic with a brand that you have heard of will do, I've even used the Wilkos stuff.
