Anyone using 0w-20 ? If so ...

[Hershey]

What brand ( Mobil 1 , etc. ) ? Any benefits ? Thinking of using 2 quarts of SHELL synthetic 5w-20 and about 1+3 /4 quarts of Pennzoil Platinum for the upcoming cold months . Guess that what make it a 2w-20 . See where the 0w-20 if approved for the Yaris in Canada . The winters here are very similar .

I don't even mix. I use 5 quarts of Mobil 1 0W/20 and have had no ill effects in 64K of ownership. I buy one 5 quart jug with the green top and pour it right in and keep a single quart around just in case but I've never had to use it.

It will do you just fine.

0w-20, 0w30,5w20, 5w30 will all do just fine with it...i normally uses 4 quarts of 5w-30 and add some lubricate additives with it and it did me well, i just recently switch it to 0w30 due to the 5w30 has been sold out, so i used that instead which the package says that it works with 5w30 and i used it and it serve me well as well, i notice that it runs a bit smoother than what i normally run with 5w30....but like i said, any of the one i listed should be fine.

by the way, don't mix the oils with different brands, cus different brands of oil make their oil slightly different from one another, if i were u, i would either stick with penzoil or mobil synthetic oils....but if u want better oils, go with either mobile 1 synthetic, castrol synthetic should be good, penzoil is good too, so thats all i have to say....
