Too thin for Summer. I'd go to a 40 weight.

Default should be OK for a N.A. I-5.
The naturally aspirated I-5 shouldn't be subjected by the added heat and stress of a turbo..
but check your owner's manual to be sure.

IMO, if it gets pretty warm during Summer in your area, I'd use a heavier oil for the improved protection. I like using 15w40 HDEO oils for diesels/mixed fleets. Better detergency, wear additives, and base oils. A plus for our old engines.

as long as you dump your old oil, and put it where the oil goes.

15W50 Syn would be better. Heat up 30W and its like water, no protection.
