So according to this chart I can use 5w20 in my car as well? Is it legit? 2004 solara l4
Experimenting with the 3MZ-FE

I have not done any UOAs to see what the effects were, but on my 3MZ-FE, it has run mostly 5W-30 over it's life, a leftover blend that included 5w-30, 0W-30, 5W-40 and a touch of 5w-20. It has also run 5W-20 and as of the last change, I think I will be sticking with 0W-20 for some time.
Never ran anything substantially heavier than a 30 weight, the blend I used would have equated roughly to around a 32 weight.
No scientific data to say if one viscosity was better or worse. But my engine is still running nice and strong.

Good question.

Good question.
on my last fill the MS5K sheared down. I could have ran it for longer according to blackstones recommendation, but I didn't because I wasn't sure the engine would be speced for 20w. Didn't want any problems on my only ride
Mixing oils is a bad habit best avoided!
What is the OP using at present ??
If it's an Xw20, I would try an 0w30 with the correct API specs once the warranty has expired.
