in a nutshell yes 5-30 LL04 specs the way to go, oil is critical on these cars as is regular oil change cycles, if you were to do day 6000-8000 miles per year there's potential to have the same oil in the sump for say over2 years and this isn't good for the car and most people will be guided by the indicator which will count down the mileage to the next service, we recommend that of you want to do the best fir your engine's long term well being change the oil every year or even reduce these times, I'm changing my oil twice a year yet I do 8k PA, I cycle the oil change to September and March thus in September changing the oil before the cold sets in and in March changing again with fresh stuff to basically ensure good thin oil is circulating through my engine, sounds a little bit OTT but when you see what poor oil condition can do to a cars internals for me it's something that I am able to do to help prolong internal engine life.
