Original owner that owned my SS put in Mobil 1, I put in Mobil 1, and every other car I work with I put in Mobil 1.

As far as weight goes, all depends on how many miles are on the engine and if you rod it a lot.

How many miles are on the engine? If its under 15-20 thousand miles, I would go with 5w-30, but if its more or if you race/rod your engine, I would at least go with 10w-30 or possibly even a little heavier since heavier oil takes a little longer to breakdown than lighter/thinner oil.
