Which Oil to Use?

[acbent]

I got a new engine installed in my daily driver today. What engine oil would you recommend?

I don't really drive this. Just an enthusiast.

What the service manual recommends.

Think there should be a few reports over in the UOA forum.

Super, thanks! I was thinking about trying some Pennzoil Platinum, but should probably use your linked resource.

Indeed. I thought a 200 series but with those more modern engines (CFM56 turbofan), not positive. I thought that the ones with the 'newer' engines also had a glass cockpit.

EDIT I needed to read this in detail obviously...

Will do. Toyota spec oil sounds good.
