I've always used Mobil 1 5w30 (the blue bottle).

Do a search.

This topic has been covered a million times. Search "Patman" for some results.

Patman will tell you to use the German Castrol or something like that.

My opinion is that any good synthetic will be just fine. Mobil 1 is great however you can find some really good deals on Pensoil synthetic at your local stores ($2-3/Qt.)

I use Mobil 1.

Any approved synthetic or dino oil should work. Just check it regularly and change it during recommended intervals. You should be fine.

Castrol 10w - 30 when it's warm out - 75 degrees or hotter
Castrol 5w - 30 when its cooler.
