Default stupid oil

Ok I have a stupid oil question. I recetly bought an 06 Z used and i was wondering what kind of oil I should put in when I change it in the springtime. I dont know if the previous owner used synthetic or regular oil.

Wondering...................why are you waiting until spring to change your oil? I would think that should be the first maintenance item for a used car. I would change it right away and definitely go for synthetic.
