mineral oil? just use the highest grade labeled in the back.

over here we currently have A.P.I. SM grade. grades go in order like SJ, SL, SM etc.

so just pick ur favorite brand. it won't hurt to get the cheapest and just change twice or more often

have check out quite a few places. Autobacs have more ranges. Idemitsu 10w30 is available. So u guys may wanner check it out. idemitsu also have 10w40, but not advisable to used as it is semi syn oil, not even mineral. I dun think we wanner risk out 8 on a semi syn.

you should use the oil that suits the ambient air temperature. there should be a chart in the owner's manual.

i'm currently using HKS 10W-40 partially synthetic oil. it's quite lightweight, almost like water, but perfect for the renesis engine that tends to consume some oil anyway. it's got the SJ-CF4 rating.
