So the important thing is that the oil is A3/B4.
The best viscosity would be 5w40 as it provides the full range if cover, and circulates quicker in the cold. Nowt wrong with 10w40 though, and xW30 will be fine SO LONG AS IT IS A3/B4.
You can also use 0w30/40, they didnt exist back then so wouldnt be listed!
