The PDF online manual specifies 0W-30 or 0W-40, with alternative weight of 5W-30 or 5W-40. Be sure the oil meets the ACEA A3/B4 or API SK/CF specification. Just look for the right spec on the can and the weight difference shouldn't matter. I haven't had a turbo motor before, and perhaps the oil spec is more important in this application.
