5W30 is what i recoment. 10W30 I belive is in the manual, but 5W30 is superior in quality, and allows everything in the motor to run much smoother.

please explain how 5w30 is superior in quality over 10w30, besides the fact they are both **** water thin and have crap for viscosity
the quality is no different

i run 15w50 mobil 1 in my race car and it locked up, so im thinking its a bit too thick for the pump to keep up
5w30 or 10w30 are fine, if its got a ****load of miles you wanna step to 10w40 probly to help keep oil pressure up
the oil you need depends on the engine, a tight motor needs thin oil to keep flow up, a loose engine needs thick oil to take up the extra clearence in the bearings - stick to whats recommended by the mfr.
my daily driver the old engine was tired and i used 10w40 to help shut it up at higher RPM
