    Welcome! The manual calls for 5w-30. Pick your favorit quality oil, and change it every 3500 to 5000 miles, depending on driving conditions, and environment.

    if you want to bump up your oil, i would Rec synthetics i use AMS oil XL extended life, its a little pricey but the oil change interval is 7500-10000, i use a wix filter 50516, and if you get 100% signature series which can go for 15,000-25000, when changing from factory oil to AMS oil i noticed better drive quality and little bit better on fuel economy
