Right on the Oil Cap: 10W30

If you drive it in winter, it *might* be worth going to 5W30 to ease the starts a bit, but so far with 10W30 I've had no problems.

If you are driving the car in the cold and you are using dino oil, then go with 5W30 for easier cranking. Switch back to 10W30 when winter is nearing its end. If you are using synthetic, it doesn't really matter unless you are parking it for long periods of time in extreme cold and NOT plugging it in. In this case, go with the 5W30 synthetic in winter.
