Two out of the three dealers in Phoenix use 5w-40 normally. On my first service I went along with it but had noticeable valve noise for the first half mile or so when temps dropped below 60 deg F.

The second time around I insisted on 0w-40, but with lows in the high 80s I can't tell if it made any difference.
