I tried looking around for what type (not brand) of M-oil can be used for the 370 but havent been able to find any. I'm stuck between 5w-40 and 10w-40, fully synthetic and synthetic respectively. the 10w costs 1/2 as much.

Our climate is always at 25-35c so it never really gets cold here. Does that mean I neednt take the cold rating too seriously, i.e. the 5w, where the 10w-40 will perform just the same when the oil's hot, ie. 40. Correct if im wrong.
