Best oil weight

[txrocco at sbcglobal.net (ATS - Patrick Bureau)]

well look at the chart for 15w40 and 20w50 oil weights.
we use 20w50 in summer time in texas and it aint thick enough in july we
switch to 40w straight oil sometimes. 9but we get 120'F

=>for a stock scirocco in a hot climate?  Atlanta Ga. .. it gets
=>to mid/upper 90's pretty often in summer.  I just switched to
=>synthetic oil and put in 4.8 quarts of 10W-30.  Out of curiosity
=>I look at the oil chart in the original 84 owner's manual, and it
=>recommends 10W-30 for temperatures only up to about : 60 F .
=>
=>Basically wondering if I need to use heavier oil, and/or if there
=>is a "best" for city driving in swamp-like conditions.
