If you drive the crap out of your car, than you should step up to a 40 weight regular oil, or a nice 30 weight synthetic.

5w-30 if it doesnt consume oil almost all engines do but if irs not notisible then 5w-30 is good. If it does consume oil notisibly then go 10w-30. Also I notice some people dont know that the first number of the oil is the weight of the oil
5 weight-30 viscocity or 10 weight-30 or 40 viscocity. The last number is the the viscocity wich comes in 20-30-40+
