Check for leaks, check the coolant for evidence of oil and have the compression checked.
If you mean it just needs an oil change a good quality 10w-30 will do. Avoid the bargain brands and Pennzoil. I've always been partial to Castrol GTX. if the engine is high mileage try 10W-40 or 20W-50.
If the engine is high mileage or has any leaks I'd avoid synthetic. it tends to harden seals and will find leaks or make existing leaks worse.
Check the oil each time you gas up, If it uses a lot of oil you should investigate why.
