trovan,
0W40. get them from K-mart is probably the cheapest. i just order them from my dealer anyways since it's just few bucks difference.

CA996 is infamous around these parts
Kragen auto supply is having a sale on 0-40 they have tons because of an improper order. It is on sale for $3.99 a quart as opposed to the regular price of $4.99. Your suppose to have a coupon but they don't care about it. So stock up guys.

Manual says 0-40 unless you do seasonal changes. Here in the heat, I use the 15-50 summer option.
