    You dhould go with whats in he book if your not sure, not what the dealer says! As Martin said, if you ask the Dealer now what's recommended in my car, they'll tell you 0w30...buts that's NOT what my handbook says! It should be 5w30......however, I use 5w40 as it's better for the summer temperatures we get, especially in the South East where it can regularly get above 30*C.
