That depends entirely on the condition of the engine. If the bearings are not worn, you would do better with a lighter weight oil (lower viscosity). If the bearings are starting to wear a little, you'll need something with a little higher viscosity, such as 10W30 or even higher.
The oil pressure gauge is the best indicator of whether you should be using a higher viscosity oil. If the oil pressure drops significantly when the engine is hot and at an idle, switch to a higher viscosity oil. If the oil pressure stays up, don't use the higher viscosity.
