Hey guys i'm about to finally get my 5 speed 318 running again, once i get it started i'm definitely gonna change the oil

My car has 160k miles and i live on the east coast so it mainly stays warm, what's yhe best type of oil to use for my car? I always hear mixed opinions so i want to hear from actual Ti users

Factory spec was 10w140 in cold climates and 20w50 in warmer climates if I recall, I know mine hates the new light oil get noisy. I use Rotella T6 price is right and the viscosity is available in it.
