Oil it up - 20 or 30 ?

OH's 2017 didge GCV, need to get me some oil, recommendations are 5w/20.
On the oil cap it says "something" and I can't remember.

it probably says 5w/20 but I also seem to remember it could say 5w/30

any damage if I get 30 instead of 20, (gettng it from a dealer) so they will probably know as I have the vin

dont wanna go all the way home then back to the dealer

txs

a lot of online says 5w/20 although a couple show 5w/30
I'll run with what the dealer says and if its wrong I'll take it back

but still a good question anything wrong with using a 30 instead of a 20

txs again

Go to Mobil1 site and pretty sure they have a thing that tells you the best oil.
