I have always used 20-50W in my air cooled here in SLC.

I buy whatever brand is cheapest by the case.  I won't buy 'Teds & Wanda's
Oil,' but allowing for a certain amount of common sense and label reading,
oil is oil, especially when you are going to throw it away in 3000 miles/3
months.

Never used synthetic oil, but my baby uses a lot of oil at highway speeds,
so it would be an expensive waste for me to use it.
