Most of Japanese car manual recommends 0W20 OR 5W30. Check your car manual for selection

Bro, I would suggest to choose from 5w-30, and if it does not suit, then 10w-30 or 5w-40, and lastly, 10w-40.

In all of these cases, select some reputed brand, and oil be fully synthetic, and 100% genuine and original, meeting latest API and ILSAC Criteria.

Prefer engine flush before switching to new engine oil brand and grade, and also if engine seals are perfectly healthy.

5w-30: Total Quartz 9000 Future Series.

10w-30: Caltex Chevron.

5w-40: Shell, Caltex Chevron, ZIC.

10w-40: ZIC.

multi grade is harmful or its just ok ?

Multigrade engine oil is not harmful at all!

Oils can be separated into multigrade oils and monograde oils. Multigrade oils must fulfill two viscosity specifications, their viscosity grade consists of two numbers, e.g. 10W-40: 10W refers to the low-temperature viscosity ("Winter"), 40 refers to the high-temperature viscosity ("Summer"). Currently, most automotive engine oils are multigrade oils, while oils for restricted usage, e.g. for seasonally used engines like lawn mowers, are often monograde oils.

Not harmful, but replace it with recommended 5W30, when next due for replacement
