    Type? As in manufacturer or weight...or synthetic, blend, or conventional?

    10w30 in summer, and 5w30 in winter. Brand wise Royal Purple, Mobill1, Castrol are all good. Synthetic or not depends.

    ^not noticeable enough for possible issues if ur just startin to put synthetic in a higher mileage engine..stay conventional unless u plan on rebuilding, then use synthetic
