The handbook will specify the correct grade - would anticipate 5w/30 - probably fully synthetic.
Brand?
Surely the brand of oil (of the correct grade) will be determined by what the servicing garage buy in bulk, so it would be worth asking them what that brand is.
If you are considering buying your own oil and taking that with you to the servicing garage, then they might (just might) suggest thinking about buying a piece of steak at the local butchers and asking the restaurant owner to cook it for you! Just a thought.
