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.
