HZJ80 oil recommendation and upholstery need

[Dave W]

I have a 1990 HZJ80 with 329,000 km and need to change oil. I live in California, so will need American brand. Any recommendations? Regular or synthetic?
I also need lower seat covers with the blue Toyota fabric. My seat lowers were recovered with a pretty tacky grey cloth (I know this is a long shot). I would post a pic, but can't figure out how to do so...

I wouldn’t use synthetic on an engine of that age with that mileage. If it’s not been used throughout it’s life it will start to piss oil everywhere.
