Developed a leak through the sump plug so got a replacement plug and washer. Going to drain the engine, replace plug and washer and refill with oil, but I've bought Shell Felix 15w40 oil - will this be okay? (I see the wiki says use quantum).

I think you mean "Helix"....
Should be fine... "Quantum" is a brand name not a type of oil... the 15w40 part is the important bit (the ACEA/API classification are important to, but not at this point in time.. for a discussion later....

)
