Engine oil VALVOLINE or IDEMITSU
I always use VR1 (Valvoline) 20w50. Excellent oil. The car runs beautifully on it and has had no issues.
I use the red bottle in mine. I've found that it leaks/burns the least.
I have the VR-1 race oil on my MR2. Apparently some people said it made my car spit flames.
Me personally I'm using Valvoline euro full synthetic 5w 30

Idemitsu is the only premix and engine oil I’ll use ... you can order it for a good price from TREx performance out of NJ and he will ship
The oil was Idemitsu Synthetic 0W-20 with 12.5k miles on it. Once again, trace metals and flashpoint were within normal range. I also ordered a TBN to measure the amount of additive left and that showed there was still plenty of active additive remaining.
I use Valvoline XLIII and it works great and not terribly expensive.
In terms of oiling, get a sohn adapter so your apex seals aren't being lubricated with crankcase oil, and instead are injected with rotary-specific oil, like idemitsu.
I've been using Valvoline #VV966 VW502-approved full synthetic 5W40 MST on our Audi and the GSW. Works well, no issues.
