If u gonna ask me try 10-30 or 20-50 high mileage oil, the brand i'm using is castrol. Or u want some other opinions go to the thread about black oil in 1000 miles.

5w 30 or 10w 30. it depends on the weather where you're at but since you used the words, "im fixing to.." im guessing you're in the southern part of the US.

20w50? no way.

5w30 or 10w30 depending on where you're located.

for me, 5w30 syn or high mileage all the time (mobil syn or quaker state high mileage).
