Assuming you have no existing leaks, and have taken care of the routine maintenance, I'd start with an engine flush and whatever viscosity you have been using up until now. In other words, if you've been using 10W-30, then use the 10W-30 AMSOIL. After the first batch, you might want to change to the 0W-30, or maybe 15W-40 (if you need something heavier).
For oil filter, use SDF 57. Watch for signs of sudden increase in oil consumption after a couple of thousand miles. If that happens, change the oil filter and top off. If oil gets very dirty pretty soon (means it is still cleaning), you might want to change the first batch after 4-5,000 miles. I run mine at 10K changes, oil filter at 5K.
Get a bottle or two of PI, too, and start using it. While you are at it, a can of Power Foam into a vacuum line to the intake manifold does well.
