    in a pinch any 0/40 or 10/40 will do the job.

    synthetics better than mineral (generally)

    once you're out of the poo, change the oil and the filters so you're running a known single brand.

    i had that with mine, the harmonic balancer ($950) died which also caused the seal behind it (camshaft) to start letting go and also destroyed a belt.

    fixed up and good as new again.

    For future reference, all the major oil companies have online lube guides freely accessable online. e.g. Penrite Oil Australia - NetLube
