Shell Helix Multigrade High Mileage.

Castrol GTX High Mileage 20W-50.

Engen Protecta High Mileage 20W-50.

High mileage oils use seal conditioners as an additive. Pure synthetic oils without additives will potentially leach through seals, burning oil. Synthetic, although expensive is not always best.
