I think std fitment for your vintage is 5W-40 (Shell Helix semi-synth 
), but any oil with a 'Winter' viscosity of 5W, 10W or 15W is okay, while the 'hot' viscosity should be 40 or 50 (modern 60s are considered too thick for today's motors - ask Oilman).
A 100% Ester Fully Synth is what the flat-4 needs e.g. Millers, Silkolene, Motul, etc.
