    It is difficult to answer unequivocally. For each year of manufacture, for each engine size, different oils are recommended.
    As a rule, it is 5W-40, synthetics have been used on models since 2006, before that 15W-40 semi-synthetics were used.

    10W-40 was on engines up to 100hp. - according to the manual at 5 thousand replacement
    on a 136 hp engine 5W-40 as an all-season, although you can use 5W-30 for the winter - a replacement of 15 thousand according to the manual, but in fact 10 is already a lot ...
    but purely for the summer 5W-40 will also do

    on a 136 hp Triton, you turn the steering wheel to the right and remove the protection under the fender and you have access to the filter. There is no need to remove or unscrew anything under the hood.
