the dealer is probabaly going to seggest HP10w/30. Mine always does:rolleyes:

The manual says to use
10w-40 for protection from -18 and up
10w-30 for 0-85
20w-40 or 20w-50 for -8 and up

10W40 works good for year around. unless its extremely hot in the summer 90+ then use 20W50. i use only honda oil.
