Brand wise pick your poison as long as it meets the grade eg 80w/90 or 75w/90 is fine unless your doing desert racing. Also must meet the API grade eg if the manual is calling for GL4 use GL4 if GL5 use GL5. GL5 is a higher spec oil with slightly different additive package for higher loads BUT be carefull using it in a GL4 service as some GL5 package's can attack yellow metal eg bronze, copper etc eg gearbox syncro's.
