from what i can tell, it guess it is a 5W-30 based on the oil pressure reading of the factory oil vs. other oils i have used so far(10W-30 Dino, 5W-30 Synthetic, 0W-40 Synthetic)

Do you mean I can top it off with 5W-30 synthetic?

There isn't a 5W-30 dino at my local NAPA's.

Don't mix brands or types of oil. They have different additives
