Midwestern IS350 Owners, what oil viscosity do you use during the summer?

I've read that 5W-20 is the current recommendation from Toyota and wanted to verify. Also, anyone know of a good write up on jacking up the car using a floor jack and stands?

You can use any of the following;

0w-20
0w-30
5w-20
5w-30
10w-30

The 0w-30 will provide the best overall protection (Summer or winter). I only use Amsoil!
