I'm guessing because of warranty? Simple solution, just stick in some 5W-30 but keep the old 5W-20 bottles from your current fill to show them. They would never be able to tell what you were using if you had an issue.
Personally, I would never use 20 weight oil in a hot climate. Take a look at what they use/recommend in Australia, for example. Shoot, I'm up here in Washington and I still wouldn't use a 20 weight oil.
About what?
A single-pass UOA doesn't tell you much more than how much life the oil has left in it and the contamination levels......
It would also reflect the viscosity of the tested fluid. If the vis is way off from the recommended range, the owner may find himself confronted with a wty claim denial.
