Heres a tip
Engine oil come with this format

5w-40

The front number (5w) you can safely ignore unless you live in cold climate which we are not

The back number 40 refer is viscosity.
Lighter means like water
Thicker means like condensed milk

Me personally would take ?w-20.
Very light, engine smooth, better FC
People say engine might tear faster
But the pros out weight the cons
For brands just stick to mainstream one, petronas shell etc

Actually it doesn't matter. thicker oil is not any better. Its quality of the oil. But not all cars can use 20wt oil.

For most cars, 30wt oil will do fine. DOn't skimp on oil. but don't need expensive oil.

1 of the best is Penzoil ultra platinum. Its because the detergents inside really keeps the engine clean. Good for everyday drive. Its group 3/4. But if your engine is very oil and you are on mineral, do NOT use it. You may face leaking seals. ITs also relatively cheap.
