Summer Oil - South Texas

I'm sure this subject has been beaten to death but can a fellow South Westerner shed some light on what type of oil I should be running during our Crazy hot summers in South Texas? Running 5w20 but its already hitting the 90's in my area! Thx

I think a thicker oil like 10w.30 for the Tx. summer.

harsh conditions deserve reliable U.S. lubricants. may I recommend just some that come to mind..
