Different people have different opinions so just get a good all round oil like castrol 10w30 is what most dealerships use or could try a semi oil, but i wouldn't use an oil like mobil 1 as this may be to thin and you will just burn it (seen several cases of this over the years)

and if you want a performance brand try MOTUL, PENZOIL etc just use a good multigrade oil

use 10w40 similar... don't use 5w or 0w grades if you don't want to top it up every couple of thousand kms..

FWIW, I don't think you can get Magnatec 10w30 in anything less than 60L drums, its sold purely in bulk to dealerships.
1988 KE70 Wagon - Slowly rusting
1990 NA6 MX-5 - because reasons
2018 Ranger - Because workcar
1997 FD3S RX-7 Type R - all brap, all the time
OMG so shiny!
