Motor oil recommendations

Wolf's Head???  I haven't heard of that stuff since the '60's!

20W-40 or 20W-50, there just isn't much difference in the two.  Use
whichever you want.
As someone said, just make sure it's a quality brand.  And full synthetic
won't hurt a bit.....
BTW, the W in 20W-50 means "winter", so you can use it all year (unless it
gets REALLY cold....)
