Yep,
can get 5W20 any day at my local supercheap, (a version, the Japanese high shear) TGMO at my Toyota dealer (only for the 86), Subaru have it, Fuchs have had it longer than the Porsche cup, Penrite had a "race" 0W20 (really 0W16), for 5-6 years now.
The OEMs are able to import whole cars to Australia, so were an unusual viscosity of markedly superior performance, I'm sure that they could bring it in, rather than specifying something else.
