Right now it is running Nulon oil, before that Shell HX5.
I have considered if I should upgrade to a nicer semi synthetic or synthetic oil but I can't see the point when it still holds good oil pressure nicely at 260,000 km, at least according to the gauge, it doesn't make noises, and I haven't blown the motor up yet. At least I'm changing the oil, I don't think the previous owner knew or cared to know that oil is best changed on a regular basis.
