Use what ever you want. 10w30 or 10w40, depending on climate. Being a 98 and with high miles (I assume), I would add a quart of engine oil treatment to it. I use Lucas, but there are others out there.

Use a quality 10w30 oil. If you have over 90,000 miles use a high mileage version.

Slow start ups

Usually it is a fuel pump relay that does not supply a "prime cycle" when the key is first turned on.The fuel pump will get power when oil pressure is present,but you have to crank it a bit before oil pressure builds sending power to the pump only then and while it;s running.
A bad temp sensor can cause slow starting also.

I have a 98 chevy lumina when I let off the gas it turns off if I step on the gas too hard it putters like it wants to turn off

Mass airflow meter needs to be cleaned. There is a special spray cleaner for that purpose. Don't try any other kind of cleaner or you will destroy the sensor wires.

How can i tell if my 1998 chevy lumina car motor is locked up?

Does it have oil in it? If it does, its more than likely its not, take the serpentine belt off or which ever one that's around the alternator.An alternator that has a bad bearing can seize up and keep the motor from turning over.
