I would use a 10w 30 since its starting to get warm soon

or a 5w 30 if its going to be cold where you are at

with that many miles I would recommend the thicker 10w 30 in something like Pennzoil High Mileage

PS Nice car (I rolled Mine) DOH!
 
I just got it,so I dont have the owner's manual.Don't know what oil grade is recommended and how many quarts.I live in San Diego ,CA.Thank you in advance for help.
 
most always a sticker under hood or on oil dip stick most cars start with 5w30 but any will run with anything above that as well so if your car uses oil between oil changes go with a heavier weight like 10w30 or even more if its running great and dont used oil stick with 5w30 will be most likely what it should take i run 10w40 in all my cars but thats me an dany parts store can tell you what weight it shoul dtake as well and you could search for it also just by typing into search box most cars take four to five you add four crank check for leaks and then check again and add more if it needs it some take a half quart like 4 and a half but i always buy five just to be sure most cars hold five or more
