Is it a good idea to move from Synthetic oil to normal oil ?

Phoenix gets to 120 in the summer. Stop and go driving with the AC on under those conditions would be about the most extreme operating conditions I could imagine. I definitely would want some input from people with professional experience about what oil to use.

I have serious doubts 5W-30 is going to cut it.

I don't think temps are sooo bad in AZ to go all the way to 20w50. But like I said, they middle East guys use it because night temps are probably 100F over there. Lol

You are seeing 60's temps in the winter, I would def stay around 5w30 to 10w40.the

I could see using 10W-40 in a place like TX or Phoenix. Now that the wifes Camry is at 123k miles and is starting to use a little oil, I put a couple of quarts of 10W-40 in for the summer months. I can go 5000 miles without adding a quart that way. (usually)
