i use 10w-30 its standard , if you use synthetic dont go back and forth to regular oil its bad for your engine.

Don't pay more for "High Mileage" oil blends. If it's the same price it's OK to use as it doesn't help/hurt either way. It's just impossible to quantify any benefit of certain marketing of oil.

5W-30 is recommended for nearly every situation.
