I said on no your not! I popped the hood and showed them the oil cap. I said I want 0W20 or at the least 5W20. My first oil change was free because I have Toyo Gaurd (Those in the south might know about toyo gaurd crap.) When I went to pick up the car they told me they did put 0W20 in it.
Why are you guys in the warm climates insisting on the 0W and not the 5W. The only advantage with 0W is in cold starting (as in below 0F) temperatures. Since both are 20 weight their protection when warm is identical.
