Hi!
Toasting oats gives them a biscuity flavour and this has a flavour impact on the final beer. I'd have thought a pale ale would want untoasted oats.

Hi!
They add a smoothness to the mouthfeel of the final beer.
Ah I see, thanks. What sort of quantities would you recommend for a 10L batch?
Hi!
The general advice online seems to be 5 to 10% of your grain bill.
anything from 250g to 500g on a 8% beer

Just to say, I’ve spent ages going through long complex descriptions of using oats in beer and my head was spinning. I’ve just learned more in 30 seconds reading through this wee post than anything else! Nice one folks! Cheers
