Did a search, F20C1 is for USDM models. Can't find what they have in Japan, F20C3 is my guess...

the service manual says unless you experience temperatures under -20C 10W30 is fine. 5W40 will take care of all temperatures from -30 to +40C

Yep, so not good enough for Arizona or Texas...

I'll be sticking with the 10W-30 oil since I have a USDM motor
