Wow! I had no idea there were any older American cars in east Asia. Nice Cutlass. Welcome!
For engine oil, you will get many opinions on what to use. I use 10W-30 synthetic with a Zinc additive in my Oldsmobile. You may need to do some research to find what works best. I don't see anything wrong with 20w-40, personally.

Lots of American cars in VietNam as a result of US presence over there in the '50'-'70's. I went to Saigon in 98 and US cars are still everywhere.
US military and goverment agencies owned 1,000's of sedans that were left behind. Fleets of ford Falcons, Chevy II's, Biscaynes, Galaxies, Fury I's, AMC products every sort of US light vans and pickups to heavy trucks.
Plus the ocasional 57 BelAir, 66 Monza, 71 Challenger, 65 Lemans, 64 Mercury Montery.

Hey Nott, welcome! I just saw the thread, this is great. My girlfriend is from Thailand, I've actually looked at ads online to see what kind of American cars might be available over there. I didn't find much, very cool to see there are some classics. Make sure you use oil with zinc or use a zinc additive as henryk8398 suggested. Previously API standards were backward-compatible, but more recent blends have removed the zinc necessary for flat tappet cams. The oil you have available over there may be the same way.

Nott, the TH400 was used in heavier cars and high-horsepower applications. In a Cutlass with a 350 motor, the TH350 should be more than strong enough. I have a TH350 beind my 455, and it's holding up just fine.
