5W-30 is the only thing I would use. It's what GM recommends and what 99% of the people on here use.

All new cars seem to use 5w30. Its not the olden days anywhere when you use 10w30 in the summer and 5w30 in the winter

I won't make a damn bit of difference - synthetic will hold up in any weather the States have to offer. Just buy a 5 quart jug of 5w30 from your local Wal-Mart or similar for about 25 bucks.
