Given the choice, I would choose pennzoil, but I am sure that the castrol would be fine as well. Doesn't the car call for 5w20?

Just bought a new P5 for my wife a few weeks back, nice to see a few others online! I changed out the factory fill at 600 miles for Chevron Supreme 5w-30 and a NAPA Gold filter. Planning another change at 1500 miles, then 5K and every 5K after. At 1500 I'll probably switch to M1 or GC.
Did anyone notice that the AT pan has a drain plug? Cool!
And yup, the manual calls for 5w or 10w-30, not 5w-20 in this engine. It's the old 2.0L DOHC engine, not the 2.3L used in the 6 and 3 which does call for 5w-20.
