Default regular or synthetic

Just got my GS and plan on getting an oil change. I have about 160,000 miles on it! What grade oil do I use? And do I go reg. or synthetic moter oil? Any suggestions

I use 5w-30. You can change to synthetic if you want, just know your gonna pay a little more. As far as a brand, Royal Purple is the best(IMO), but you can use whatever kind you want.
