So all you 20-weight proponents can stick it in your ear. This engine ran good on the 5W30 oil I was putting in. Dealer wrecked it. I will Trade for Nissan Rogue or sinilar, and Silver"worm"glow can buy my spouses destroyed trade-in because the oil is perfect. Moronic Nonsense!

If the TSB was followed, I would contact Toyota for a new engine, covered under "Special Warranty". If you can prove the 5W-20 "caused" the damage, you will get your new engine.
