I have a 99 GT also and it has a sticker that calls for 5w-30. It's not going to hurt it.

I wouldn't use anything more than 5w30. Our motors have tighter clearances than an older motor. Thicker isnt always better.

You might find more info in the OIL AND OIL RELATED section of the forum. But that wouldn't be a very good place to post an oil related question lol I kid!
