Hi mate,
My manual also says you can use 20W50 whichy would be more suited to engines that have a bit more k's on the clock. In your case i would just stick with the 5,000km oil change and filter as this will keep your lifters quiet and since ive had mine and done it ever 5,000km it runs alot smoother!
Ive been using the magnatec and the mobil semi synthetic 10W40's, both very good oils although the magnatec tends to burn away a little faster...
Ive been using the ryco ones from supercheap, good enough if you gonna change them every 5,000km's...
Make sure you get a new sump plug washer too everytime as reusing the copper ones will make them leak...
Good luck mate
