Unless there is a specific reason (which requires an oil temperature gauge and an oil pressure gauge to determine) you should use a 30 for the for "hot weight" such as a 0w30 or a 5w30 if you can't find a 0w30.

I think 0w30 and 5w30 are way to thin for the 1fz. 5w40 and up to 20w50 as dan specified. Cold months I like 5w40 Rotella, hot months 15w40 Delo (CHEAP at Costco).
