I don't think models sold in Africa come with landing radar, so that's probably not it.

So if it's not a 1202, what "oil alarm" are you experiencing there in Nigeria?

Unless the car does not like thick oil.
How hot is the weather when this happened?
High ambient temps should raise engine operating temps.
I ran M1 EP 0w20 when we had our 2008 CX-9. No UOA, but ran just fine.

If this is the first time you used 5w40 and suddenly you are getting this engine code, then just switch back to the recommended oil. How long have you been using the 5w40? Has the engine been properly serviced in the past? Is it making any strange noises etc?
I know that 5w40 is spec'd in Australia so the issue isn't the oil grade. Just a coincidence. 5w40 is the perfect oil for your climate. I've used it in our 2008 Mazda CX-9 GT here in California with no issues. ðŸ‘
