I'm in the "high desert" of Southern California, (elevations around 2,500 to 2,800 feet). Pretty warm around here most of the year. Does get chilly in winter, but not so bad. When I go to work on winter morning, my main concern is ice on the road. It rarely gets into the high 20s around here, even during the dead of night. So, 20w50 works fine for us.
