It really depends on your application.
Standard bottom end generally 10w40 or if you have a modified bottom end then it is definatley 15w50.
All oils should be fully or semi synthetic.
I would personally reccomend Mobil 1 15w50, fully synthetic.
Smoking could be due to a different viscosity being used which may now be passing oil seal and getting into the combustion chamber. Check for leaks.
