a thin grade synthetic. as light as you can go. 5w30 fully synthetic.
what's the owners manual call for?
these new engines have VERY tight tolerances, which is why they burn so clean and efficiently, and last more than 100K miles. so they can get away with much thinner, lighter oils due to the tighter tolerances

I don't know, lotta people put too much hype into which brand name of oil they use. I would run any of the name brand synthetic oils if it was mine.
in fact, that's what I DO run in all my modern engines. 0w20 synthetic...the stuff that's in the black bottle, I can't remember who makes it..castrol? my car I've had since new, has 30K miles on it, too new for longevity feedback. my wife's car had 80K on it when she totalled it with a deer's ass, but it was still running like new as well.
I'd like to put 300K miles on my daily driver commuter car, so we'll see how it does.
I think the most important thing is regular oil/filter changes

Any SM-rated 5W20 (or 0W20) will serve you well. Synthetic is just icing on the cake, and allows for extended OCIs.
It's Swifty! Swifty, you toad sucker!
