Here is an interesting article on engine oil. You might want to read this before making any changes. If it were me, I'd go with a high quality diesel oil or synthetic.

A little off topic but if you have a little knock in your motor or a ping to quiet it up replace one litre or quart for you Americans with one transmission fluid. Done this for years to my 351m

Thumbs up http://www.bobistheoilguy.com/

0W-30 or 5W30 quality synthetic. It WILL free up power and it WILL protect just as well. Most people run way too thick oils. You can step up a grade as the motor wears out.

More info than you'll ever want to know about lubrication of any kind, well okay maybe not any kind... . I'll let you decide for yourself........
