Same with my 2017 Lexus LS460. The recommended oil is 0w-20 and nothing else, if you add 5w-20 you are supposed to change it back to 0w-20 "at the next oil change." So up to now that's what I've been using, merely because they say so. But the possibility 0w oils are too thin to properly lubricate has been nagging at me all along. So I did my own research from every true expert and tribologist (oil engineer) I could find and concluded 0w is the wrong choice, for one reason: I found out from others, in Lexus driven outside the USA, Lexus recommends 5w-30 and 10w-30 FOR THE SAME ENGINE. Only in the US are owners told to use the super thin oils and the reason is entirely political and has nothing to do with what's best for the car. It's so Lexus can prove they are squeezing out every last fraction of an MPG to satisfy .gov requirements, and that's it!

Because car magazines /info on cars when buying/selling is whatever the miles is on a car is what they average it on a yearly drive. Example- 80,000 miles on a 2017 is high. BUT car selling guide say people drive an average 12,000m per year.....so they change the oil then! Even if they drive 10,000m they think their car is good as it's change at 10,000m, so wrong! That's the mentality it is over here. No one does a 6 month oil change here,NO ONE. They assume it's no point changing oil 10 months at 10,000m when they know another 3,000m or even 4,000m will be done in the next 2 months ie One year. It's always one year here. No good! I'm in the motor trade,i've seen many cars sound awful 6 yrs old! They use cheap oil at long oil changes. PLUS many service stamps in service books here are mostly over 10,000m or even up to 15,000m.

Maybe you can answer this... The main difference between 5-20 and 5-30 is the viscosity when it's warm, right? One is good for 25⁰, one for 35⁰ ambient. The engine operating temperature is about 95⁰c... And in most cases, the oil will be in that temperature about 90% of the time. So isn't it going to be more beneficial to run 0-40 or 5-40, because the temperature is going to be over 90⁰ anyways? The cold temp rating makes sense, because a cold start is different in different areas. But the warm rating is pretty much the same everywhere after 5 minutes of operation. And I can't say that it's the differet design between engines, because on the same engine (same brand, same model, same year, same engine), they tell you to use a different oil in Canada, and a different one in a hot climate. But the only difference between these climates are the cold temperatures... But the hot ones are the same, 95⁰c operating temperature.

This seems to keep oil consumption at a tolerable rate. We are testing Valvoline's Restore and Protect in a few engines that consume oil.

@@marcdejong929 Do keep in mind that "Dealers" will sell you what they have in their 55Gallon bulk drums, so 5w-30 is the most COMMON oil they can dump into everything. That being said, my Honda specified 0w20.... it was VERY buzzy and vibrated on the highway. I use 5w-30 and it runs smooth as butter. So am I wrong? I don't know. But the engine runs so much smoother and quieter that I have to question the ultra thin oils just to improve the CAFE mileage figures. In the end, you do what you feel best.

Would it be ok to switch from 0w-16 (which is what the engine calls for) to 0w-20 synthetic motor oil. I live in Texas and the weather out here is very, very hot (100 degrees plus in summers) plus we have very, very mild winters. I just wanted your professional opinion since I value your opinion. I just wanted to get you thoughts on the matter. Thanks again my friend and take care.

[@danielbruneau2222]

The 2019 Camrys and Rav4s use a computer controlled electric oil pump calibrated for a 0W16 oil. By definition 0W16 is a good quality synthetic oil. Changing one level of viscosity higher should not hurt your engine although I think the important thing is to change the oil more often to remove impurities. Check out this older Amsoil study of running 0W20 oil in taxis in Vegas with a 900 hour oil change interval.

Toyota sequoia 5.7

Not exactly a modern engine with direct Injection. Won't show fuel dilution

[@Me1999.]

I’m curious why you didn’t use Amsoil SS 0w20 and 0w30 for your test? Why would you use two different formulation of super tech? Seems like it added variables.

[@jamesvaldez4093]

@@repairvehicle The 5.7 would be the same on the Tundra. If the 5w-30 seems to protect better is that what you're staying with?

[@repairvehicle]

@jamesvaldez4093 if it’s super tech then 5w-30 protects better. If it’s amsoil no difference under normal circumstances

There is no use using the most expensive synthetic thinnest oil in the oil, but if you are not changing it at the right intervals your effort is wasted and useless. 5-7k miles or 7-10.5k km is the sweet sport for any oil brand. The manufacturer is in the business of selling vehicles not preserving them to last for 10 years and more, that is the owners responsibility.

[@repairvehicle]

You are 100% incorrect and your statement is so misleading. It shows how much you don’t know about oil, engines and fuel dilution. People with your knowledge end up with engines damaged.

[@erwinvanriel5843]

So 0w30 is better?

[@repairvehicle]

It depends on what you have

[@lonniebeal6032]

What does your owners manual say? I have RDXs and it states only 0w20, which is fine up to 70F per every online oil viscosity chart. But during the summer I currently run 10w30 because I had stocked up on it when I had cars that used it. I will go to 0W30 for over 70f when that stuff is gone, and back to 0w20 for winter.

[@timbur2711]

I run 0w20 in my 2005 Honda civic with 280k miles and it pisses people off LOL

[@HiTechOilCo]

@timbur2711 - The recommended viscosity from Honda for the 1.7 or 2.0 litre engine is the 5W-20. The 1.3 litre engine has a recommended viscosity of 0-W-20. If you want superior cold weather performance, the AMSOIL Signature Series 5W-20 has a Pour Point of -58 deg. F. I sure hope you don't live in a place where it gets that cold? :)

I doubt you did that during the full 280k, and what was the local temperatures during the summer?

[@metal1mark73]

8000 to 9000 miles oil changes is wrong! Oil analysis doesn't show everything. 4000 to 5000 oil changes is best for longevity of your engine!

[@repairvehicle]

Oil analysis shows everything and doesn’t lie. 300k miles and 15k miles change intervals. Who is wrong now? kzbin.info/www/bejne/mH2ypq2DmK94bKc Without oil analysis oil change intervals are incorrect and doesn't do any good for longevity.
