unless you do high mileage annually, which means that you change your oil every 5,000 miles more than 4-5 times a year, any of the API-SP service level oils will work at the recommended viscosity by the car manufacturer.
API | Oil Categories
SP Introduced in May 2020, designed to provide protection against low-speed pre-ignition (LSPI), timing chain wear protection, improved high temperature deposit protection for pistons and turbochargers, and more stringent sludge and varnish control. API SP with Resource Conserving matches ILSAC GF-6A by combining API SP performance with improved fuel economy, emission control system protection and protection of engines operating on ethanol-containing fuels up to E85.
