Definitely sounds a bit thin, I would go a 15W-40.

check the penrite site for recommendation.. I use this for roughly liters needed and viscosity

Maintenance book says for our temperature range 10w30, 10w40, 10w50, 15w40, 15w50, and 20w50 so not a lot of choice there
even 5w30 if it's going down to -30C
