Stay with 5w-30 brand wise, just keep with the well known brands such as, Mobil 1, Royal Purple, Motul, Amsoil, Redline, and the like. As for a pricing goes I would go with Mobil 1. They are all pretty much the same. As long as you change your oil frequently you're good to go.

How many total miles are on the engine so far? I personally prefer conventional oil, but even if you intend to run synthetic, it might be a good idea to run conventional a while longer, depending on the mileage.

So the engine only has 2000 total miles on it (i.e., it's brand-new)? I'd stick with a quality 5W-30 conventional for at least another couple of oil changes.
