  The higher the letter in the alphabet, the better the rating, so CH-4 is
"better" than CF.

  I'd say the 15W/40 but both would work.  I use 15W/40 all year.

  Sounds like you're doing well.  Not letting the carbon build up is the
biggest thing.  THe right oil and proper changes is the best for that.  :)
Heck, I use diesel rated oil in EVERYTHING.  Engines stay cleaner,
smell better and probably run smoother too.  :)
