Mobil1 filter...and whatever the people that built the car recommend for oil...more critical under warranty. Yea you can go well beyond the scheduled oil changes with the super duper stuff....but you will void the warranty.

That is actually false. No manufacturer to this day has had the stones to attempt to publicly say that. If they do they will be in court the next day. As long as the lubricants meet SAE certification requirements then it cannot void a warranty. It would have to be explicitly proven that the lubricant was the cause of failure without a shadow of a doubt.

Pretty bold statement and legal advice regarding warranty contracts. My particular warranty has nothing to do with the manufacturer. It is through an independent company that the dealer arranged. I'll stick with what is specified for my car.....it's not going to break my bank account.

Looking at the owners manual even for the latest 2016 it's still indicating 5W30.

http://www.toyota.com/t3Portal/docum...f/OM52G61U.pdf

(see page 310)

I don't doubt that Toyota is moving to 20 weight as the industry trend has been to 5W20, and now 0W20 motor oils. But I don't think the TSB applies to the 1NZ-FE engine which is one of the oldest designed engines you can buy in a current Toyota and is in the process of being replaced by the NR engine family.

Like alanwagen posted I used wikipedia and club-toyota.net. There's also a really good summary of the various Toyota engine families since the 80's/90's on club-toyota.net.

Hmm I was hoping for a 500cc blown engine of ~75 hp a la the Ford 1 liter eco boost.

I've run nothing but 5w30 Pennzoil Platinum synthetic + Toyota OEM filters in mine for 7 years, at ~6000 mile OCIs.

Worked great in cold Wisconsin winters and works fine in hot Texas summers.

Yes, I checked with the local Toyota dealers here in Southern California... and all of them are using 0-20.
