Engine Oil

Hi everyone,

I just bought my 2016 lexus is200t and want to know which oil viscosity to use.
The owner manual and oil cover said to use 0w20
but I live in a hot weather country (40+ C)

Which oil viscosity suits my region ?

If your car was imported from NA then the manual will say 0W-20. But the manual for cars sold in your region is 5W-30.
