You can go with detergent, just you will need to change it more often until the sludge is cleaned out. Odds are the previous owner ran detergent oil. Non-detergent oil is found at part stores and farm stores around here. Pennzoil no longer leaves the wax in the engine, I'm running Pennzoil 20W-50 in my 235. Where you are SAE 30 should be good for the summer, you will definitely need SAE 20 or lighter in the winter. I'd recommend using 10W-40 year round if the engine doesn't leak or burn much oil.
