I use Golden Specto full synthenic 4 stroke 20W50 on the engine side. I use Golden Spectro 2 stroke 80W on the transmission side.

I asked my local mechanic what oil to run here in southern california Castrol 20w50 both sides best for hot weather (read your owners manual).

I live in South Florida. It really doesn't get or stay any hotter then here all year long. I always used 80W Golden Spectro (which is equivalent to 10W30) in my 250R trans. Never had a problem. I do use 20W50 in the engine side. I think 20W50 is to thick for the trans.
