Does the SN/GF-5 have a ton of moly? - I though that ended with the SM/GF-4. I have to look up some SN voa on zero dubbyas ...

Toyota 0w20 is not available in the SN formula yet, they still only sell SM.

The Toyota 0W-20 is still SM.

It will probably stay SM until EOM can reformulate for Toyota.

I'm buying some more SM soon for my oil stockpile.

I believe Pennzoil Ultra is still SM in the stores for the same reason.

Pennzoil has to decontent the add package to meet SN.

I would just stay with using the 0W-20 synthetic oil. Cuz I live in Californiia where we pay some of the highest prices around I need to save as much money as I can. In addition I'd consult your golve box manual for what it recommands. When I had my 89' Camary the manual gave me a range of different oil weights to use depending on yout temperature and reion. For sure stick with the synthetic.

From my research, now i understand that how good is toyota 0w20 is...and now it makes me think that how about filter? will it work fine for 10k? hummm


Stay with the factory filters.

They are cheaper than the parts store filters and Toyota uses them for 10,000 mi. change intervals.
