Have been running 15w 40 changed every 5000 ks can you run 20w60 if not what would be a good brand and grade to run. Thanks.

Depends a lot on your location and the ambient temperature that you drive in, do you tow anything or load up the motor?

20-60W is not that much of a jump from what you are running now, so it'd be fine. Any major brand, everyone has a preference though. I run Penrite in my lux, mav, F20 and sportage. No complaints, except the price.

It also depends on how much oil your engine uses, if it uses not much oil then use a thinner grade oil as your engine will believe it or not, get a bit more power due the less resistance.
