I'd use 10w-30 year round most of the time, sometimes 10w-40 in the summer (100+ not unusual where I live) months.

Tried either 5w20 or 5w30 on one of my Samurai's one winter (winter temps around freezing but I'd also go winter camping down to around 0F)...bad idea, I got to replace the rod and main bearings shortly thereafter. I put 250K miles on mine, my kid got 180K out of his...so we got real good at pulling engines and transmissions, doing backyard rebuilds, etc.

If you are in a really hot area of the country, you might want to bump it up to 10w-40 in the summer months, otherwise any relatively name brand 10w-30 should be fine. Do NOT drop down to 5w-20! (Yes, this is the voice of experience talking!)
