Reply to "recommended synthetic oil and filter"

Just a suggestion, but especially if you want a viscosity recommendation, it would be helpful if you can include your location or, alternately, your typical summer + winter temperature plus expected maximum and minimum temperature.

Also, it's helpful if you can describe the service level ... standard or severe service, etc.

Severe service (broadly speaking) is any of:
Dusty environment
Average trip duration under 20 mins or frequent trips of 5 miles/8 km or less
Excessive idling (more than 2 mins routinely or more than 5 mins occasionally)
Towing, hauling

You will get somewhat different definitions of severe service but if you're typically on one side or the other of the above (never/rarely vs occasionally/frequently) that's good enough to help with an oil recommendation.
