There was a similar thread not long ago and it concluded that either 10w40 or 5w30 semi or fully synthetic are fine.

I've run mine with the same engine on 10w40 semi for years with no issues and recently had some 5w30 fully synthetic left from a car I sold and have driven from Essex to North Wales and all round Wales with that in and it's been fine and not used a jot.

So either or are fine.

In reality fully synthetic is wasted on an engine of the era this engines were designed in. Semi-synthetic is fine, but more important is regular changes of both oil and filter.
