The parts department does not have a sorce (sic) to get that oil for them nor will the shop install it if supplied by the customer. They will only used the 5W30 at this dealer."

Idiots, all of them; that said, I wouldn't use EITHER of the two oils detailed above. I only use M1 0W-40 European Formula, and bring it to the dealer when I reluctantly allow them (on the 10s) to change it. I change at triple the recommended frequency myself. You may say-waste. Regardless, it's my money.

The tail is wagging the dog here. Show this Yankee dealer who's boss...
