Why is this posed in a AUS manual then?
Why do the other NON USA vehicles that use the same engine also use 0W-20?
Because the USA manuals make no mention of anything other than 0w-20 being acceptable other than top-ups. Japanese and Australian manuals not only say 5w-30 is fine but they even say thicker than 0w-20 should be used under harsh conditions. The USA has all the language about 5w-30 or 0w-30 stripped out. The engines are not different between countries.
