The oil you should be running is 5w-40.

I would suggest that you stick to this recommended grade as the car runs 14cst at 100degC, the sae 60 is 24cst at 100degC which is 70% thicker than needed.

This leads to lower mpg, bhp at the wheels and additional friction, heat and engine wear in the long term.

Cheers
