any decent 10W40 should do, I try and use stuff like Total Quarts 7000 when I can get it at a decent price.

SBC recommend Shell oils iirc but I use Fuchs XTR semi synthetic 10w40 which I get from GSF (cheaper than some places ).

 

Recommended by oilman so it can't be all bad.

 

I use a flush additive every year but not every service.

 

If you have a good enough oil additives like slick50 aren't needed & some people doubt they even work except for clogging up tiny oilways.

 

I wouldn't bother.

Oilman can be found on this forum from time to time. A quick search will find him or just give the Opie oil dude's a bell.
