hey all picked up a 2015 rav 4 with a 2.5 engine, i believe its called the 2ar-fe. It comes posted to use a 0w20 but i assume we can run thicker
i live down south so its always 95++ fahrenheit outside.
the vehicle has 100k miles on it rn
i assume it has seen 0w20 its whole life
is 5w30 a safe bet cuz of the heat? we never get a winter or cold weather here so i doubt it would be an issue?
but i read something about some vvt issue or something with the 2AR-FE if the oil is too thick but i doubt that should be a problem
curious what people would recommend! or just stick with the 'thickest' 0w20 i can find?
