10w40 shell helix semi synthetic.
Now the point being that fully synthetic is fine, as long as the car has been run on it for most of its life, if you dont know what the car has been run on, go semi as putting fully synth oil in a car run on semi for 80k doesnt do much to prevent wear (the damage is done already, ie slightly more wear but nothing drastic, which the fully synth slows down).
