Well... I've been running Total Oil (Formerly Elf Oil)...
There are two to choose from...

A full Synthetic "racing" 10W50

or a Mineral technology 20W50

Not sure which is better... I run the "Synthetic" oil and get it locally at
S&G in Detroit.

I've had good results so far with the 10W50 in my 91 2.1L motor.

We have Sam's Club.  They carry Mobil-1, but never have the 15w50.
Wal-Mart usually, but not always, has the 15w50 in 5-qt jugs.
