    I just changed mine with the Amazon basic. It has a +SN rating. Half the price of Mobil 1.

    Toyota 0w-20. It's like 7ish a qt. Seriously, don't waste too many brain cells on this subject. You'll find yourself falling down a very deep hole.

    Whatever you do, listen to what Toyota recommends, not what backyard mechanics tell you!

    So, I’ve read some articles from trustful sources and upon those reviews I believe that Amazon prime oil is a good quality oil.. it is labeled +sn (I am not an Engenier) but that is the highest rank for motor oil. But please explain me why if it’s a good oil or not...

    It sounds like he's asking questions, not making a statement on the quality of the oil.

    I use Shell 5W30 synthetic in the red jug. Runs smooth and quiet.

    The 2GR-FKS 3.5L engine in other parts of the world is not spec’d for 0W20 — that’s just a US fuel economy game.

    The manual states you should switch back to 0w20 next oil change if you use 5w30.

    The manual also says not to pick your nose.

    Amazon Basics is produced by Warren Distribution....same folks that produce SuperTech, Costco (Kirkland), Meijer and several other house brands. It's a good product

    But but but it’s not in any commercials, or the official oil of NASCAR, and it doesn’t come in a pretty bottle. Based on that and my years of experience in the oil industry, you’re wrong!
