Incorrect grade oil

I'd guess the point is whilst we know it won't/shouldn't cause any issues, if something does happen to the car and it goes back to the dealer for work with the 'wrong' oil in would that be something the dealer could use to get out of a big warranty repair claim in the event of something happening?

Surely they give you a loan car, I mean thats the whole reason people buy brand new cars isn't it? For zero hassle incase of issues? Having to drop it off and walk to the bus stop is what you do with a 10 year old car not a brand new warranted car through a main dealer?
I was thinking this as it is merely the cold weather viscosity.
The world is a bigger place than the UK. 10W-30s are more popular in Asia and the US
I didn't drop the car off or collect it, they gave my girlfriend a shuttle run to town and collected her when it was done.
This has been the case with Toyota and also VW, even when my bosses one week old Amarok Ultimate was in for a week with undiagnosed red spanner of death.
I say screwdrivers as thats what I have used in the past (and done a better job) on my own cars. I would expect them to have proper trim tools and not be hamfisted.
It is the 1.6 GDI engine, the turbo hadn't been released when we bought the car, and it is almost $10'000 more, almost 50% more than the standard car cost us and I wouldn't pay that for one and we don't need the extra power of the turbo.
Different climate, that's the main reason oils are different viscosity
