Florida? 5w30.
Hey neighbor... I'm over on the Atlantic Coast, I run the OEM oil and filter from my local dealer. I figure it's the best bet for us. I too drive the car a little harder than most and have no issues. I change it every 5000 miles. Good luck and hit me up if you ever get over this way!
