14 Yaris Oil Change

[kimona]

Went to the Toyota dealer and changed the oil in my Camry last week and my Yaris just this morning. Full synthetic 0-20 in both cars. I'm in Southern California where it gets quite hot and the traffic is terrible.

So why run thinner oil if your in hot climate? Hotter the climate thicker the oil one should use.
On my Yaris I stay with 5w30 syn all yr round on our Juke that has a turbo I go to 5w40 for summer weather and w30 winter.
I find 0w20 is like water and the only reason Toyota uses is cos it saves on fuel economy but not your engine in the long run....just saying.
