new (not really) oil from mobil 1, 0w-30 and 0w-20 - Toyota Yaris Forums

So I called Toyota customer service today and got the mantra about "use what it says on the oil cap"-and got the same from the dealer. Both seemed unaware of the TSB and neither seemed to know why a 2009 MY vehicle would still be specing ILSAC GF-3 and API SL via oil cap. (Neither even appeared to know what to heck I was talking about for that matter).
That TSB is one confusion causing document judging by the similar discussions I've seen elsewhere on the net. I guess the only for sure is to use the 5W-30 at this point.
