I'd convert to synthetic (I am converting to synthetic, lol) if I were you. Much better and keep your engine cleaner and quieter.

cheap stuff but great protection is the napa 15/40, good blend of additives and it works very well.

thats the one zakk. it rated very high in a comparison of oils and its very cheap. it has a perfect blend of cleaning agents and wear metals like molybdenum and zinc. I run it now and wont ever change. synthetic is good but a 15/40 like this will perform nearly just as good. protects the metal parts like you need.
