Not a brand per-se, since there's only a couple of manufacturers that actually produce the multitude of brands available on the market. What you want to look for is one that is marked API SN+ Resource Conserving and/or Dexos1 Gen Type 2 (GB-B6A). These latest generation oils meet the ACEA spec synthetic motor oil standards that have been used in Europe for the past decade or so. The synthetic and synthetic blend oils that meet these standards prevent Low Speed Pre-Ignition, resist fuel dilution from incomplete ignition etc.
Just be sure not to use the GF-6B standard oils ie: 0W-16 as they designed specifically for engines requiring low viscosities and is not backwards compatible with older engines that require heavier grades to attain proper oil pressures. As long as you stick with the recommended weight oil, is SN+ RC and/or Dexos1 Gen Type2, and change it every 3-5K miles you'll be fine.
