Is 0W-20 Motor Oil Suitable for Use in Hot Climates

Why Have Some Car Makers Moved from Recommending 5W-30 to 5W-20 or 0W-20 Motor Oil?
I just bought a new 2.4L Toyota Matrix and saw that the recommended oil was 5W-20 or 0W-20. My older Matrix requires 5W-30 and I have always used Mobil 1. What modifications in an engine change the oi...
