Any oil that meets the requirements in the owner's manual is fine. I am partial to Pennzoil Platinum 5W30 since it's a really good oil that you can buy about anywhere, and it meets the requirements.

Any 5W-30 Synthetic ....
I use Mobil 1, but any other quality 5W-30 Synthetic will be fine.
See how easy that was ...

Note: Don't use Lard ... I have found that it just gets too thick when it gets at a cold temp... But lard does work great when making home-made breakfast biscuits !

Walmart syntech 5w30 oil $17.00 for 5 qts of synthetic oil and it's rated 1 level higher than the original specs.
I understand that Quaker state is the oil's maker, but I haven't been able to confirm this statement.

I guess I am asking because I had a guy telling my that ams oil is the best and only oil to use. I ran royal purple for years in my diesel but the quality has went down. Just want to make sure I put a quality oil in
