    I use a 5W-30 or 0W-30. I'd avoid going to a _W-40. There is no need to go thicker.

    thanks bro. funny thing is 5w30 is next to impossible to find here although most common back home. 5w 40 on the other hand is very popular. philippines is like bizzaro world, everything is opposite to what we consider normal. will the 5w40 do?

    Just use a 5w-30 and you’ll be fine.

    It won't hurt anything mechanically going to a 10W-40. Your fuel economy and horsepower will suffer a little bit though.
