I use 5w-30, 10w-30 works too. 10w-60 maybe for a built engine with different tolerances. The Factory service manual calls for 10w-30. As for what brand, use what ever full synthetic you can afford to change every 3000 miles and have easy access to. A proper oil change interval is the single most important thing when it comes to oil. Avoid any "Racing" oils, they do not have the detergent packages necessary for a street driven car.
