Check your owner's manual as it's designed to recommend what's best in your area. Why so? If you live in a colder climate, 0w-20 is thin enough to easily lubricate the internals in freezing temps. If you're in a hotter climate, you may not need such thin oil & a thicker one like 5w-30 may provide better protection.

Here in Canada, I've started using the FULL SYNTHETIC 0w-20 of Costco, which is a rebranded oil. It's about 50-60% cheaper at CA$39 for 2x4.73L jugs (2x 5qts) than the big brand ones but performs the same or even better. What's important is the oil has SAE-API certification. I run UEL catless + Ecutek tune.
