Checked your climate in Houston ....

.... you can use 15/40 or 20/ 50 *
Oil change: All 5000km (3100 miles) inclusive filter or 1 time a year if you drive less.
Oil change on Diesel engines is more important than on petrol engines !
Cheers

* I use 15/40 (both trucks BJ43 & FJ45)

American Petroleum Institute service classifications are a two-letter rating beginning with “S” for petrol engine oils and “C” for diesel engine oils. The second letter designates the oil’s quality standard, beginning with the letter “A”. The further along the alphabet, the higher the oil’s quality. Many oils meet standards for both petrol and diesel engines and will be marked with a dual service classification, for example SH/CD, however this is not universal and it is becoming more common for oils to be specified for only one type of engine.

Go with a 15/40 or 20/50 mineral based oil as written before.
These oils are " designed" ( were used when this engines were new) for this vintage engines, dont`s use synthetic oils they are developed for modern engines.
You can ( if you want) but`s not necessary use a synthetic oil if you engine is completely rebuild ( new)
