Again, regular QSUD or now QSFS has been supar in all my vehicles in signature. When the new 2023 Rav4 Hybrid gets delivered. Will be pairing this with it in 0W20 from the get go.
I would recommend sticking with the grade toyota recommends. We had a 2019 Highlander 3.5L that blew two engines in the first 10k miles. That new hybrid will call for 0W-16.

Are you blaming the engine problems on the oil, and specifically the viscosity that you ran? What oil and viscosity did you use in those engines? What were the operating conditions?
 
Interesting all the Ultimate Protection grades specifically say Fischer-Tropsch from 75%-90% while the Euro 5W40 only says Interchangable Low Viscosity Base Oil

I know what the Fischer-Tropsch process is but it's interesting how Pennzoil Platinum and QS Full Syn to this point are known to be mostly GTL usually say "Interchangeable Low Viscosity Base Oil" on the SDS, but the new Ultimate Protection specifically calls out that it's GTL, I wonder if thid may mark an intent to cut down on GTL usage in the regular Quaker State Full Syn going forward?
