I'd go up to at least 5w-30.
I use 20w-50, but I have a Sohn adapter and I don't know if the heavier weight would affect your OMP (probably not).

You are going to start an argument (an old one at that) with this question, so be prepared.

well. It shouldn't spit the oil back out at you anyways. Should work.
