New Member, and New(ish) 01 Prelude

Hey guys, I just joined today, and I just got my first Prelude a few days ago. I sold my F150 and got a 2001 Blue Honda Prelude with 97k on it. This car rides like it's on a rail! I have a few questions/qualms about my new toy..

1. What oil is best/recommended?
2. My passenger door lock makes a weird noise when I lock it. (scared me the first time!)
3. At around 2,500 RPM's seems to not accelerate. When I VTEC it and go hard it runs AWESOME!
4. When braking and in neutral the brakes seem to wobble around 35mph-25mph and the rotors feel smooth.

Conventional oil, blend, or full synthetic?
