I think you'll find several other threads on here where the predominant oil being used seems to be Mobil 1 synthetic, 5W-30, which happens to be what I use, with the K&N oil filter. Some push the weight around for seasonal use, but I think you'd be fine in Walmartville with the standard weight.

Royal Purple, with a K&N oil filter

since you're running F/I, go with Mobil1 Synthetic. Due to higher ambient temperatures from F/I, the synthetic would be the smart choice (less degradation in higher than normal temps).

god speed.
