Either way, follow the guide below and you should be fine.
The current online manual, dated 2025 October, shows this below.

As much as 0w-20 sounds scary thin, 229.71 or 229.72 are the only current approved oils. Walmart sells Mobil X2 or Castrol Edge EP, both 229.71 spec/labelled, for ~$29 for 5 quart jugs. Yeah I did my first change with Motul ECO Clean for $80 in oil, but may just use either Castrol or Mobil for the next one.

Well, I'm going to try Liqui Moly 5-40WT :

The Fl. summer driving season is quickly approaching, so I went with the 5/40 Wt.
