(silver, wut's ur aim SN. i wanna add u.)

What is (aim SN)?

And also I would trust your dealer and also your owners manual... it says 5w-20

I highly doubt your dealer is going to put in anything other than regular 5w20 oil from bulk, so you can do it yourself (or your dad)if it's more convenient.
