I would like to know if I can use 10/30 oil.

It is supposed to be 5w20, but I see no reason why 10w30 would not be okay. It is only one grade thicker. But why would you want to use 10w30? If the starter cranks over too slow in the middle of winter, then you might want to go back to the 5w20.

Thank you very much for your respond. I leave in a country that the temperature average 85-90 degrees all year around. I guess is okay to use 10/30? Once again thank you.
