Semisynthetic 10W40 should do good

Any 10W40 Semisynth should do good; my personal preference will be Shell or Motul for their technical superiority

Check the owner's manual {or online} where this information will certainly be available. No need to soak.

Whichever oil you use, whichever brand, how much so ever you fill, soak or unsoaked, one foremost task that needs to be ALWAYS done is: Inspect the engine oil level every 750-1000 Km {even lower number for any brand other than Shell/Motul} without fail & TOP UP if required.
