I use the GTX semi in my starlet turbo and i've seen a lot of black stuff under my valve cover.

I would suggest the GOLD series of Eneos and if you find AMS Dominator, then go for them.

Another option is Motul 300V but they need more frequent changes due to their chemical stracture.

Silkolene Race 15W50, Castrol TWS 10W60, Petronas Synthium 1000 10W50
all full synthetic... but mind you we barely get temps below 30°C here so you should be good with a 10W40
