Post your engine specs, if it is consuming any oil etc and someone will reply to you in there if you are still unsure.

Failing that I'd consider a 10W-40 if you're not sure of the health of your engine. If it's tight as a drum I'd personally run a 0W-30 or 5W-30 because that's the thinnest at cold/warm temperatures and will spread/libricate the internals easiest.

Generally speaking synthetic oils are superior to mineral oils because they lubricate engine internals better at cold temperatures.

I use Castrol Magnatech 10W-40 in my daily Civic, but it's only a semi-synthetic and cheap option. For you I'd consider Nulon 10W-40 or maybe a Penrite/Amsoil/Motul option.

it was me and my friends first time changing oil so maybe we did something wrong. we drained the old oil from the bottom and then just topped it up from the top. my engine has only done 92,000kms so im guessing it is still quite healthy. im planning to get a car maintenance service done at chasers motorworks soon since im getting kinda worried about it and luckily they do use motul oil too. does anyone know if they are any good?

They're good but it's just oil so you should be able to manage yourself.

Jack car up, remove sump plug, remove top cap, and then remove oil filter (this is how I do it in that order anyway). Wait a while for drainage.

New filter in, 1/4 turn more once it's starts to grip so it's just firm and also use some new oil to lube the rubber seal. Plug back on, replace sump washer while you're at it. New oil from the top, volume as per workshop manual.
