Georgia is pretty hot...but as we say, its not the heat, its the humidity.
My Toyota runs 0w-20..I run Valvoline in it...takes a few weeks before I can hardly see it on the stick its so clear.

I just don't KNOW about going with a non-spec grade (the 5W-30). Ironic because my car specs a 5W-30 or a 10W-30 for heavy / hot applications.
I run Mobil1 0W-40!
"Everyone says" the 0W-20's and 5W-20's are a cheap shot by car makers to get a tiny bit of fuel economy.
Georgia is plenty hot, no?
