Default What type oil on a 408 with an sts?

Just wondering what you guys would recommend or what works well with a 408 and a sts turbo? Someone told me rotella 15-40 than others said no. What brand and weight for summer? Synthetic or nonsynthetic? thanks for the help.

We use Mobil 1 10w30 in a lot of the engines. Bob

Mobil 1 10W-30 exceeds warranty requirements for gasoline engines where an API certified oil is specified. It meets:

* ILSAC GF-4 (API Certified - Starburst)
* API SM/SL
* GM 6094M/GM4718M
* Requirements for Diesel Powered Vehicles where an API CF or API CD is Recommended
* ACEA A1/A5, B1/B5

Mobil 1 10W-30 is recommended for all types of modern vehicles, including high-performance turbo-charged, supercharged gasoline and multi-valve fuel injected engines found in passenger cars, SUVs, light vans and trucks.
