Does the engine not burn oil? Are the seals good? Coolant leak? Functioning PCV valve?
If yes. If it was my car, I would just use any cheapest dino, change every 5,000km / 6months, and call it a day.
Weight is dictated by owner's manual. In 1988, 10w30 was used a lot. Check the manual.
Just my opinion. Do a UOA if you are bored want to know what's in the oil.
