Pretty sure it's 10w40. . .
Here's the owners manual, would look through it for you but the alcohol is stopping me

Re: engine oil
The print is quit small in the manual but it does look like it is 10w 40 and you will need 3 litres for an oil change and about 3.5 litres for an oil and filter change. Hope this helpsRK6 wrote:Pretty sure it's 10w40. . .
