    10w30 works good in the summer, and I use 5w20 in the winter (during -degrees). 10w40 is good for basically all year round. Amount is about 1.2-1.5 quarts.

    Nick, 10w-40 is more of a summer oil being it's thicker then the other two. 5w-20 is really thin, you might want to do 10w-40 for the summer and 5w-30 for winter.
