What brand and Type oil for ATV

I decided to go with Suzuki EcStar 5000 mineral oil, I know suzuki doesn't make their own oil but I was getting a headache trying to figure out which oil was best, I have a tendency to over engineer things. . This oil for this engine that oil for another and then there's the 0w-16 oil I don't know how you get a 0 wt oil. Im from the old days when you used Castrol GTX in your motorcycle and whatever brand you liked for your car.  Example: A little off subject but, my daughter got a Volvo XC 60 4 cylinder turbo, she was using a oil change place to get her oil changed, no dipstick, you check the oil electronically, oil light kept coming on after just a few hundred miles, took it to dealer they said they were putting the wrong oil in it , bottom line, castrol and Volvo got together and made an oil specifically for their cars Castrol Edge Volvo,  it says Volvo right on the bottle, the only oil for this car, not the same castrol edge you get everywhere else. So I think this may be why I went with the suzuki oil, this little experience took everything that I thought I knew about oil and lubrication and threw it right out the window. Sorry to be so long winded this was an experience I wanted to share.
