Both Havoline (mineral) and Redline (synthetic) 5W-30 oils meet this specification, for example, so you ought to be able to find a number of oils that will work.As for the starburst, that is simply the certification mark of the American Petroleum Institute. It will be found on any quality motor oil.also,
