It's funny but after I typed that, I had a thought that maybe the last 318 twin cam motors had hyd tappets? Wasn't sure though, thanks for clarifying.
As for oil, unless those motors have different requirements than the earlier engines, I would run 20w50 dino oil, (not synthetic), in a hot climate. The oil you are running has the consistency of water.
