Pick a good quality oil and choose the weight based on where you live (environmental). If the manual says 0w-30 then adjust from there. Simple as that. No need for 50 separate threads discussing the same question.
This is the perfect response ^^^ OP.

Key: "Pick a good quality oil and choose the weight based on where you live (environmental)." - good call Maverik259

On that note, I live in Northern CA and i use Motul 5W40. I immediately noticed how much quieter the engine runs now. Wish I switched over soon.
