Hey Welcome to Nicoclub!

Hope you enjoy your time here, you'll find everyone very helpful! If you read through some of the past conversations, you'll see discussions relating to this subject... I asked this same question a couple weeks back as I live in North Phoenix and the temps can get well above 115 Degrees. After research through this site and the help of the guys here, I discovered that a 10W30 Full Synthetic was the best for me in the heat. Check out the posts and be sure to post some pics of your ride in the members ride area! We love to see lots of PICS!

WELCOME!

Yes, a 5W-30 or a 10W-30 will do fine for those temperatures.

However, you might consider a 10W-40 (or even the Mobil 1 0W-40) as good alternatives in hot weather.
