I use Chevron, from the dollar store, i think its like $2.09 a qt right now. Its supposed to be decent, and its cheap. Keeping up with your oil changes is 1000x more important than the brand you use.

5W-30 or 10W-30, your preference
any of the oils are fine its just a brand preference, if you flush your system you can even run synthetic. really it doesn't matter as long as you change them on regular intervals
