A decent 10w/40 semi synthetic should do the trick. It's the frequency of the oil changes that are more important then spending a fortune on fully synthetic oil (IMO). I wouldn't use Mobil 1, I know some people like it but I've seen it cause too many oil pressure problems in higher mileage motors to trust it.

Agreed, it's a little 'thin' for a high mileage engine...
