I'm thinking you dragged this thread off-topic because you really did 'want to get into it here.' ��
This is a thread about oil leaks, not your personal choice to disregard your owner's manual and your apparent desire for company in doing so.

See the thread in what you quoted.
Page 465 in the owners manual.
"SAE 0W-20 is the best choice for good fuel economy and good starting in cold weather. If SAE 0W-20 is not available,SAE 5W-20 oil may be used.However, it must be replaced with SAE 0W-20 at the next oil change"

Why is that? What do they use there? 0W8?

Say like in the UAE where they recommend 5W30 through 15W40 for the SAME engine.

Here is one from Australia. Page 338 and scroll up 1 page to see the info is for the 1GR.
