10w-40w should be ok for a modern multivalve engine...
You may even go as low as 5w, but really go into the oil outlet and find the oil manufacturers book and find your car, see what it says. Take you 2 mins.

5w30 to 10w40, somewhere in that range, depending on the condition. All we know is the kms it's done.
