I've always used 5w-30 Mobil1. Seems to have done a fine job so far.

Default Preference is 0-40, 5-40, 0-30, 5-30, in that order based on availability.

Splitting hairs.

I do not know much about oil... What makes 0-40 the preference over 5-30 that the manual recommends?

Default My manual recommends 5-40. 0-40 came out after the manual was printed.

The 0 implies faster flow at room temp, and better lubrication on startup. Again, it's hair splitting if you're using synthetic.

Some manufacturers are moving toward 5-20 to reduce viscosity and improve gas mileage. The modern oils don't break down very fast, so it's safer to reduce the viscosity.
