Would the 0-40 synthetic mobile that is the European formula be ok for using in my V6? Being Europeans have a higher standard for their Audis, BMWs etc I often hear its a better quality oil. Is the 40w a bit too heavy for the new Tacomas?

I don't know what year your Tacoma is, if it is a 4cyl or a 6, if you have a warranty, yadayadayada, but maybe this will help
