I'd trust the engineers that built the motor, rather than a bunch of 
internet experts (even GOOD internet experts like we have here!  :-)

The only real question is if the engineers got overridden by someone with 
a concern that doesn't match yours.  I think in the case of "what oil does 
the motor want", that's less likely.
