The 10-40 M1 is brand new and many stores don't stock it. You can safely use either 0-40 or 15-50 IF you are in a warmer climate, the manual has the ranges.

I would NOT use the 0-30, which I don't believe is recommended in the manual at all. There is no 0-50 M1 although Castrol makes a 5-50 full syn.

And of course, stick with M1 or other quality synthetic.
Wallie World also has Shell Rotella fully syn 5-40 at a very good price.
