    Manual says 5W-20 is recommended.
    Can I use 5W-30 Synthetic?

    Yes you can, but here is no reason to.

    Early results show Mobil 1 0W20 to be pretty incredible ... very low
    wear in UOAs. The other (dino) 5W20s from Pennzoil and others have
    shown very low wear as well ... due to a higher base oil and/or a very
    stout additive package (extra moly and/or boron).
