best weight?? about 6 1/2 pounds per gallon :-)
seriously, check your owners manual.
Given themilage I would use nothing lighter than 10w30. Never used
10w40 as it high VI content can cause ring problems with time.----------------- TheSnoMan.com
10W-30 summer, 5W-30 winter. If it consumes oil, use 5W-40 year 'round.
Mobil 1 is excellent, easy to find, hard to beat.
First, clean the engine with Auto-Rx

Poor choice for a worn engine and expensive too. I would use 15w40 in a oil burner not 5w40 SYN. As 10w30 will work fine in winterin a older engine unless it get down to minus 20 or colder a lot then you might use 5w30. In a older engine there is more potential for damage from oil a bit too thin than a bit too thick.

And of course a Amsoil dealer would say Mobile one is not the best either which it really likely is and the oldest too. But that a side, a switch to any SYN oil is not the wisest thing to do on a older high mileage engine.
