i just dont believe everything i hear or read. unless lotus is assembling the 2zz to their own standards i wouldnt believe anything about what recommended oil to use unless it came from the mouth's of a toyota engineer.

They don't really say there's some particular reason others won't work, just that the Havoline 5w-40 is the only one they've bothered to test under expected conditions for US cars and therefore endorse. I'd be very surprised if anyone from Lotus would say an 0w-40 would be problematic, but they don't explicitly recommend it either.
