MG3 Hybrid Engine Oil Grade

[glend14]

Looking at the MG3 Hybrid Service Manual, it specifies C5 SP 0W-20 grade synthetic oil. This is clearly what the car is delivered with. It is also what Toyota Hybrids are shipped with.

Hello there! I do understand and respect the official guidelines mentioning 0W 20 oil, but I was wondering if anyone has any experience with such motors in places with really high temperatures during the summer? I live in Greece, were nowadays its expected to have like 35-45C during the summer (95-113F) where 20W 40 is the most common oil used.

Again, I'm not arguing, I'm just wondering - since the manufacturer recommends what's the best, but that doesn't mean its the best for every situation/temperature/etc.

Thanks a lot in advance!!
