As others posted above, having enough of any appropriate viscosity name brand synthetic oil is more important than brand, etc. The API SH rating is no longer current; it was when your vehicle was built. Most of the oil you will find now will be an SL rating; you may find SH oils being sold and they would be fine, but if you do find oils with less than SH you should stay away from them.
