I was doing some reading on Toyota's TSB mentioning that certain vehicles that originally called for 5w30 can now run a 20wt safely.
The 1ZZFE is applicable for 5w20, but only for '06+ 1ZZFE's. Anyone know the reasoning for this, or is there an updated TSB?
I want to perform my own "experiment" running an identical course for mpg and 0-60 testing in this car; both with 5w40 and 5/0w20. Want to see the difference between the oils in real world, repeatable conditions. However, not sure if I should if Toyota doesn't backspec the '03 1ZZFE. BTW, I'm pretty sure the '03-08 1ZZFE's are identical. I could do 5w40 vs 0w30 but would really prefer to test the difference between 20wt and 40wt.
