Daihatsu Mira 2013 Eco Idle Engine Oil Recommendations

I recently purchased a 2013 Daihatsu Mira Eco Idle, registered in 2016 and I am the second owner. The car has been driven 81,000 kilometers.

My mechanic advised me to use 20w-50 Toyota engine oil, but I would like to know what other options are available.

Which engine oil, in terms of grade and brand, would be best for my car to ensure a longer engine life?

I would greatly appreciate any suggestions and recommendations. Thank you
