10w-30
Get some synthetic like Mobile 1. It is expensive, but great oil!
I go 5k miles inbetween changes, with ease.

10w30 in summer.. id go 5w30 in winter.. unless ur going on a Long Trip then id go 10w30.. synthetic is always the best.. But yet it cost the Most.. id go with Castrol.. But Most the other folks uses Moble 1

I have been using Mobil 1 5w30 for several years now. I wonder if I should switch to the thicker 10w30 now that my car has 133k on it. I live in San Diego, so the weather is pretty nice here most of the time.

I don't know what the rules are about going to a thicker oil when your max gets more miles on it. I would like to know.
