pfft - the guy's actually asking becuase he's trying to avoid gettin' flammed
here's some help:
the standard is 5w-20. It's what's in the manual and it's what the dealership will recommend. Many forum members have jumped up and gone with 5w30 as well. As far as damage, no one has reported any motor failures. I myself jumped up to 10w30 along with a couple others. There are even some folks running with 20w. Can't remember off the top of my head who it was though.
Your main decision will probably be around either going full synthetic or good ol' fossil - A lot of people have discussed this and a lot of people have different opinions. Some love full syn - some don't - but that's gonna be up to you to decide.
I run royal purple full syn. Others run castrol gtx. both have worked well for all of us.
Hope this helps

I run 10w-30 regular old castrol. I got lots of miles on my car and shes running just fine. i also premix and dont go a mile over 3k. anddddd yea I just take care of my ****.
Minus the hitting of large bumps int he road and cracking engine mounts bending cross memebrs and backing into a pole damaging my fender for months. rollign into my garage and scraping the side of my car.
but the engine gets seafoamed twice a year. every oil change I clean the maf and throttle body. double check all the vacuum and waterlines to make sure everything is tight and not cracking.
yea.
