I know in other countries their manual may say to use a different weight so I'm fairly positive 0w20 isn't the only option, but I know how it goes when it comes to warranty and how dealers handle these sorts of claims. I'm sure if your engine blew and you had warranty, you would be paranoid over some stupid shit. I don't think anyone wants to be spending thousands of dollars repairing a car that is 3 years old or less because the dealer gives you a dumb excuse to get out of covering that repair, that's my dilemma and I just want to be prepared.
Why even waste your time typing a dumb comment if you have nothing to contribute.

If you read the one paragraph about engine oil in the manual that came with your twenty five thousand dollar piece of heavy machinery instead of typing that response you would know that Toyota and Subaru both recommend a higher weight oil such as 0W-30 or 5W-30 for cars that see heavier than normal usage or hot climates, such as commuting during a Chicago summer. Given that what you did is actually a suggested option in the cars manual I do not think it will cause you much hassle.
While that was an impressive tirade, text to speech is pretty good these days so forgive us if we're still not convinced of your literacy.
