Read the link I gave you. The issue has been discussed, but the correct weight has been known since April 2010.

I am sure some dealers are confused. I guess they are behind on their reading.

I think the manual says to use 5w-30 on gasoline models, at least the ones posted here do. Does yours specifically say only use that weight for the 35i and 50i?
