What does the engine refill cap say?

Typically, oil weight tend to be quite heavy in tropical countries..

What oil is available in your country?

5w30, 0w20, 0w40 all synthetic and semi-syn
Then we have 20w50 conventional, am told using this causes sludge and reduces engine performance. It's 5w30 on the engine cap and the car is USA spec
