See FAQ, at the top of the 2nd gen section. For most people, any API 10w30 is best. But you're in Florida. If it's over 85 degrees a lot of the year then I'd get any API 20w50. Some people also recommend it for the turbo models. That said, oil is not your #1 concern. Get the list of scheduled maintenance from the owner's manual/Haynes manual/FSM (links in FAQ).
