Factory spec is 0w-20, unless you think you know something the engineers who designed the engine don’t. I’d suggest sticking to factory recommended oil weight.

Factory spec is 0W-20 in the us, but 5w-30 in some countries. It’s mostly a recommendation for fuel economy, you’ll see significantly higher metal wear with 20 weight oil vs a similar 30 weight. STI recommends 5w-40 for Tracking IIRC.
I wouldn’t run 50 weight in a DD FA20, but I prefer a 0-W30 over a 0W-20.
