Exactly. Why worry about a TSB that is so old? For all any of us know, it could be superseded again. The factory made the change in Feb '06, important info then but pretty much old news now.

Unless clarified by Toyota I would stick with 5W20 at least thru warranty. Then do what ever....

Either one would probably get the engine past the point where the body rots out from salt.



Keep in mind that my manual calls for 5W30, the TSB saids 5W20 is okay but the original recommended oil is 5W30.
