Hi Richard:

Go straight to Mobil 1 in either 0-40 (if you will be in temps below 5
degree F when cold starting) or 15-50 for any temp greater than 5 degrees F
on a cold start.  First run 5k thereafter 7500k.  Use only the correct
filter brand as well.  I use Mann; not sure what other brands are
acceptable.  As you know on the V-8's (your 380) if you change your own oil,
ground out the coil wire and crank for brief intervals until oil pressure
returns slightly on the dash gauge.

Regards,

Dick
