Looks solid. Add a can of lubro-moly MoS2 and I'm good.

if only sold here... :[

Reminds me a bit of the old Esso XD3 Heavy duty synthetic motor oil.The TBN is quite a bit lower though, 10 versus 14.
Must be a killer oil.
I wonder if Toyota will import it to the USA and Canada?

It's much lighter the Esso XD-3 and most OEMs like Toyota source a formulator locally to make their oils.
But if you want a light 0W-30 just blend 50/50 the XOM made Toyota 0W-20 with M1 0W-40. The end result will be a rather impressive high moly, 200 VI, 0W-30.
I know a couple of members are planning on doing just that.

I did it (60/40) Toyota and M1 0W40, Im very happy with the result so far.

First I would like to do a few little tests, Measure startup temp of oil, startup dB levels so test if oil mixture really make engine quieter. The same tests for normal operation temps too.
