If the oil pressure is within factory specifications, use what's recommended in the manual which is 5w30, IIRC. Quality synthetics handle temperature extremes better and may keep your engine cleaner. But unless you push the oil temps, or live in a very cold climate, any 5w30 SM/GF-4 should be adequate for shorter OCIs (read severe service mileage as defined in the service manual).quote:

I'd run Castrol Syntec 5w40 in it, if it doesn't have any oil leaks. If it does, I'd run Valvoline Maxlife synthetic 10w40 in it.quote:
