I had much better experience with 20w50 than anything else. My engine has about 200xxx miles tho.

I'm looking at my FSM here and it recommends 5w-30 for 'all ambient temperatures' and it recommends 10w-30 and 10w-40 as secondary choices, and it states that 20w50 and 20w40 should only be used if the lowest ambient temp for *all* seasons is above 50 degrees.
