Really any synthetic 5w30 is fine.
Some even run 5w20.
Any zinc oil should be fine.

I have seen others running something heavier in very warm climates; so if that is what you asking for, I would search the forums.

I am not sure whether we get the activity in this forum, vice the terminator forum, to where you will get an answer to that question.

I honestly an not convinced that it matters as the motor had better be the same temperature wherever you drive the car.
