Default Oil Cap filler says 05W-30

Hi guys. my RX350 is 2008/03. oil filler cap says 5w-30 but owner's manual says use 0W-20. So puzzled went to dealer and asked them. They said " we use 5w-20". Anyone has any experiance with engine oil? It seems like better choice is 0W-30 (all included. lol) ANy advise appreciated.

There's a thread here with lots of oil information, but not year specific. Hope this helps.

You're not alone with the oil specification confusion.
