castrol magnatec is to thin for the red top mine has it in and it taps like fuck, and its not the lifters ive just done them.

any semi synthetic 10/40 is fine

If it's a std engine (rev limit and output) then any 10w-40 semi-syn, if raised revs and powern like TB's etc.. then a fully syn 5w-50 is good, valvoline VR1 racing oil is a goodun
