You can use which ever you want Conventional or Synthetic. I believe the recommended oil is 5W-30, Brand name is your choice. As long as the engine has no major leaks that should be attended to and repaired. I would use the First in Synthetic Motor Oil's because it gives you better engine protection. CAPACITIES
