Hi,
I think 5W-20 will do OK and for normal driving it'll last over 20K
miles. Even up here where I am, no one uses 0W-20. Further up North,
they never shut off engine in dead winter all day long once started in
the morning. My son's turbo engine(mod'd Subaru WRX STI) uses Mobil 1
5W-30 and oil/filter change once a year. He drives the car pretty hard.
