Look for nonenergy concerving, synthetic and if you are in hot climate 0w-30 would be a good start

I run 10W40 Redline
On a side note; I run a journal bearing turbo hence the 10w40 weight.

I use 10w30 mobil 1 but will be making a change just because mobil seems to wear out soon. I was gonna try either Redline Synthetic or Eneos. Not sure which.
