Hi,

Please understand, this question prompts a personal opinion from me. Nothing is listed indicating one over the other.

Because of the model year and what the vehicle came with originally, I would recommend using a conventional oil in the vehicle or even a synthetic blend oil. A full synthetic isn't required and is not cost-effective.

I attached the manufacturer's oil type specifications below. That is what I would recommend.

Let me know if this helps and if you have other questions.

Take care,

Joe
