Newer all season oils go as far as 20-50 which can't hurt, chose your favorite brand. Welcome to our site.

Ian, understand you desire to go with the modern stuff. There sure has been lots of improvements in the chemistry industry over the last 30 years and no reason to not take advantage of the benefits.
