I run Mobil1 full synth 10w30 winter and 15w50 summer and use oem filters. Change every ~2k miles. Granted, mine is a modded FD.

Do a search-You'll find each person has their own thoughts about oils,viscosity/brand. Filters a slightly different approach where most tout the OEM filter.
For my '89TII I use 20/50 summer, 10/40 winter, Fram filters.

I use havoline 20w50 summers, and 10w30 winters because it's free. I use the purolator pure one filter.
