I knew I'd get flamed for my choice of 20W50 oil, but that is the weight my particular engine was machined and clearanced for. If you feel confident that your main and rod bearings are set up tight enough (like most modern engines are) then maybe a light oil is a good choice for you. If not, you might want to err on the side of caution and use a somewhat heavier oil, especially in a higher mileage engine or one in unknown condition. My personal opinion.
