15W-40 will be fine for you, every 5,000 miles.
Are you going to be changing it yourself or having it done?

I replaced my factory sound system with a new Pioneer Head Unit, four 4" Pioneer speakers, and two 10" Kicker Solo Baric Subwoofers in the back. Old school mind you, the round ones not the new square ones I love it!

My uncle got me a new head unit that pops out and plays DVDs and USB input on the front. Soo... I'm switching. I can sell you my Pioneer if you want? It's brand new like $100 I'll sell it to you for $50? (Pioneer DEH1300MP) looks brand new and comes with a remote

Yup, anything shaped like a donut is better!
