I'd say stick with whats in it or maybe one of those high mileage oils.

Id say not to use synthetic and if you do expect oil leaks.

You want the BEST oil.. It's Royal Purple.. The best filter (redially avilable) Mobil 1..

But with 180,000 on the clock, I wouldn't bother.. The high mileage stuff thats on the market will help to keep your seals pliable.. Thats your main concern..
