The 'what oil should I use' debate has been running for years and I'm sure will continue to do so. Personally, I've used nothing but fully synthetic since the advent of Mobil One around the early nineties because it stays in grade. Again, personally, I prefer nothing higher than 5 for the first figure (the lower the first figure, the thinner the oil when its cold) and nothing lower than 40 for the second figure (the higher the second figure, the less thin it is when hot). I use Mobil One 0W/40 but also think Quantum Platinum 5W/40 is a decent oil at a reasonable price from TPS parts club. There are plenty of good oils out there - you pays your money........
