5w-30 should be fine, though with cold weather you may consider going a little heavier like 10w-30 but thats just preference. Mobil 1 is has some of the best oil so you're good to go.

pretty sure it'd be the other way around. The manual says to use 5w-30. 10w-30 is acceptable, but not under very cold temperatures. 5w-30 shows to be more "effective" through a wider range of temperatures. Correct me if I'm wrong anyone.

Re: (team_exceed)
you posted this in forced induction too. Why post in 2 places?
FI is gonna give you the better answer with regards to boosted motors.
I wouldn't run any less than 10w30 with the additional stresses and excess heat generated by boost, especially using a roots style blower.
