Whats the service history? If it's been properly maintained, I'd go synthetic. You probably won't develop leaks.

If you don't know, I'd stick with dino. Maybe castrol GTX.

At 92k I'd consider a high mileage oil. I prefer Valvoline High mileage syn-blend. But EVERYONE here has their own oils that they like.
