Hello everyone,

My 2GR-FE is due for its winter oil change next week and I only have 1 litre of Pennzoil Platinum 0w20 left. What should I top it off with? These are my choices: 5w-20 and 5w30 of the following: Quaker State Conventional, Quaker State Ultimate Durability or CEB.

How about BUY SOME MORE 0w20... and sorry, but for what car... not really into looking up your engine codes...!

From the readily available 0W-20s I have looked at, Pennzoil Platinum 0w20 has the lowest 40* viscosity, meaning it will flow very fast even through a cold engine. That, plus PP's healthy add pack, makes it almost a no-brainer to continue using it IMHO.
