Viscosity? Multi-viscosity oils are probably better than years ago with the additive package lasting longer. But as the miles pile up, the viscosity range diminishes and eventually it’s a straight weight. 10W30 is probably the best all around; 10W40 if it’s really hot. But the more you try to stretch the viscosity the more problematic it becomes. 5W30 or 5W40 are used by OEMs for certification because they think they get better mileage during start up. But good lubricity just isn’t there.

Mobil 1 is good, but expensive. A synthtic bled is good to at a better price. Viscosity...depends what the normal temperture of the area is.
