    It uses either. 5W-30 dino oil is only good for 5K OCI tho.

    Nope, it won’t hurt. Any multi grade ILSAC oil will work fine. Choose synthetics if your service allows for 10k mile ocis.

    Nothing to do with performance. Everything to do with availability in certain places in Australia.
    In the US, Walmart, Toyota Dealer, Amazon, every auto parts store... has 0W-20. In Alice Springs? Not so much.

    I had to chuckle about the improved gas mileage with 0w20. Especially After reading all the gas mileage threads.

    Cutting oil viscoaity is Not that effective for trucks and suvs if that is the goal.
    An individual will not notice a
    Difference Between 0w20 and 5w30 in regards to mileage.
