I got my UOA results on the Toyota (TGMO) 0W-20 SN. The results were posted here.
I was pleased to see that the hot viscosity of Toyota (TGMO) 0W-20 SN is very strong at 9.0 cSt. Most 5W-30s will shear to a 100 C viscosity smaller than 9.0 cSt. Therefore, Toyota 0W-20 is providing an added safety margin of viscosity protection than most 5W-30s.
On top of that, having an ultrahigh viscosity index (VI), around 220, the cold viscosity is as small as it gets, which is also giving great cold-engine protection.
Best of both the hot and cold worlds!
