What is the best kind if non-synthetic oil designed for the 4-cyl engine? Some places Ive been to put in 10W30, and some put
in 5 W somethins.... its confusing me.
Any remarks?

I use 10w30 in the summer because it is a little thicker and in the winter 5w30. I noticed I was burning more 5w30 oil in the summer months than winter. I use Castrol, it's the cleanest oil I have ever used.

what's the advantages and disadvantages of using synthetic?

The only disadvantage w/ using synthetic oil is that it's more expensive... Every other difference between the 2 are advantages... I have been using synthetic since i got it... I'm sure many websites list the differences...

Synthetic doesnt break down as fast at higher temps. Ive been using a synthetic blend, not as expensive as pure sythetic but better than regualar oil.

Everybody i've ever spoken to has told me that syn-blend has a tiny % of synthetic mixed in- near nothing... I was told not to go that route... everyone has their own opinions and info- and your car is your car...
Here's a good site that i found explaining some differences between the 3 types of oils and additives... It's also "his" opinion so i don't know how accurate it is- OILS
