Oil is oil, it all comes out the ground. The difference between mineral, semi and fully synthetic is the additives. Fully synthetic in a low stressed engine that's covered 125k is ok but a bit of a waste of money imo.
If i were you i would use something like 10-40 castrol semi synthetic. Still a very good oil but cheaper than fully synth oil that's really not needed in your engine.
