The cap should list a weight for the oil, or look up a manual, I’m sure you can source a digital one. As for brands, mobil 1, royal purple synth, castrol, and Mazda/idemitsu. In my ranger I used castrol. In the Volvo I had, used royal purple. Important thing is to get the weight/visc right, and whether it needs full synth
