Best Answer

Any oil that meets SAE specifications. Look for the engineering specifications on the top of the can, but generally any of the commercially available oils meet the specifications.

Use whatever oil has been in the vehicle in the past.

How old is the vehicle? If the engine has a lot of miles on it there has probably been some wear on the babbit bearings. If the oil pressure is down you need to use a slightly higher viscosity. Otherwise, use the lowest viscosity that you can.

One thing to remember is to make sure what has always been in it is the right oil. My S-10 Blazer has the remote oil sending unit and calls for 5W/30 only. I am assuming this is because the oil travels so far from under the truck to the oil filter located up around the engine.
