0W-20 vs 5W20 Warranty Question

[SR5]

I'm surprised GM still say 0W-20 in your country, and not say Dexos 5w30 instead.

Over here (Australia) the 2015 Jeep Patriot with 2.4L 4-cylinder engine is spec'd at 5W-40, yet in the USA the same engine is spec'd at 5W-20.

Me too. And as I had mentioned before, about KIA, wherein they require 5W-20 except in the middle east.
Even for the Toyota Camry which I'm driving now, 0W-20 is recommended for vehicles in the USA, while here in KSA it requires 5w30.
