What grade oil are you guys using?
 
I live in metro Atlanta and am working on purchasing an RX-8. I was wondering what grade oil you are using, especially during the hot summer months?

A number of smart minds have been using 15w50 Diesel oil for good reasons mentioned on other forums. I'm going to go to 10w40 at my next oil change.
