It depends. I've used ATF since I've owned mine. (ATF is basically 10wt
oil with additives for A/T use.) Some like it a bit heavier. 20wt is
commonly used as well. The idea is to make the pistons move at the proper
speed. This is to maintain the correct mixture during throttle changes.
The best way (if you are really into tinkering) to determine this is to
monitor the mixture while driving. The oil weight can be adjusted
accordingly to maintain mixture.
For average driving conditions and usage, anything in the 10 to 20 wt range
should give you acceptable results.
