oh boy...

this topic has been discussed THOUSANDS of times on this forum. It comes down to personal preference, whether you want to follow the owner's manual, or based on your location.

you live in OC so I'll be nice:
OEM = 5w-20
Many people use 5w-30 Castrol GTX (such as myself)
pretty much anything between 5w-20 and 20w-50 will work for our cars.

I recommend you familiarize yourself with the search feature on this forum
