There is a selection of filters here:
https://www.2carpros.com/forum/change-oil-and-oil-filter-vt59034.html?highlight=

I would use 5w30 or 10w30 weight oil, it will take 3.5 quarts. After you change it. run it for a minute, shut it off and recheck the level after a few minutes.

Alos, when you take off the old filter, make sure the gasket comes off to. Lube the new gasket that is on the filter with a litle oil before installing it.
