Toyota recommends running 0w-20 all year round on the new toyotas so you shouldnt have a problem. You can also run 5w-20 if you'd like.

I've run it in 116 degrees and haven't had a problem. I don't see there being any problems since the engine runs at much higher temps than it will ever get outside. The only time it would matter is at startup, but really, it's a nonissue.
