I would use 10w40 semi synth, its usually the cheapest.

Its pretty tolerant of most types of oil, but I find the thinner temperature stable (lower figure before the slash) and semi-synth/fully synth turn over better when cold.

The Haynes manual reccomends : Multigrade oil, viscosity 10w/30
or 15w/40
So if you can't get either of those you really can't be far wrong
