From what i understand most OEM OPE motor oil is just HDEO that you can buy anywhere fairly inexpensively. Here is a list of oils i made for myself a few months ago. Also do not forget you can run a straight HD30 motor oil also. Just make sure you do not grab the non detergent 30 grade oil by mistake.
