New shed treatment

Hi we have just taken delivery of a new shed and it needs painting to match in with the rest of the garden. The firm that we bought it from has told us it needs to be oil based stuff we buy because the timber has been dipped in oil based preservative.

Does anyone know which brand would be best to use, I have been reading the tins in the diy shop but it dosnt seem to state if they are water or oil based :confused:

cheers
