I don't know that'd I go that far, the TSB I saw has a note:

NOTE:
The recommended viscosity grade for this oil differs according to vehicle model.
Use the recommended grade specified on the oil filler cap or in the Repair Manual
or Owner’s Manual for each vehicle.

Oh well, did you checked the PDF file on the page that I added in my previous post? Toyota officially stated that model starting from 2006 year can use W20 for better engine performance and fuel efficiency...so after viewing that TSB I am very much relieved.
