I now have a Ingersoll Rand HVLP gun and would like to give it a try,
but I am am not certain, at this point, what sorts of paint would be
suitable. For instance, can oil paint be used? Does it need to be
thinned?

Oil or alkyd, and almost certainly thinned. Find the gun
instructions, and they will have minimum and maximum viscosity specs.
That's the time you use that Saybold Viscosity test cup with the
metering orifice - you lift it out of the paint and time how long it
takes for the cup to drain. Too long to empty add more thinner to the
paint, too quick add more paint to the thinner.

And filter the paint. A few little specks of solids to clog the gun and
you'll waste a huge amount of time cleaning it.

Trolling on a Sunday morning, Ig? <tsk, tsk, tsk>
As I said, _RTFM_! It will tell you what the needle and seat size are
and what paints they'll spray capably. It'll also tell you what size
needle and seat you'll need for the paint you want to spray with that
particular gun.

Actually, my Ingersoll-Rand gun manual is very sparse and does not
talk about it. I wish it did and I did read it.
