A couple of my friends and myself use 20w 50 Castrol and my car works well, I don't think a car of that age needs the manufacturer recommended 5w 30.

^ Where do you get 10w 30 oil to buy? RP is expensive.

20w-50 too heavy for that engine (VVTI)
Valvoline cheaper - reason for my choice..

The 20w oil is to heavy for these engines. Always go with 10w. Personally I use Mobil 1 full synthec
