Quaker State 5w-40 is what i used when i rebuilt the dawg a few months ago. I put 10,000K on it then switched to 10w-40. Needs to be a bit thicker for warmer weather.

I run Amsoil full synthetic in anything I own that has an engine. Haven't put it in my Mazda yet cause I've only had it a few weeks but will be shortly. I love the stuff. You change it out once a year or 25,000 miles, whichever comes first. Filter gets changed every 6 mos or 12,500 miles. Saves major coin, and it's awesome for your engine life. I use their tranny and diff fluid too.
