anyway the right additive doesn't touch original oil properties... so it's ok to use an oil additive also on a 0w20 oil, & with modern engines (dual vvti etc...) it's not un-usual to see a very "light" oil like a 5w20/30 or 0w20/30

I have a 0w20 oil on board & added the ZX1 additive without having any issues

All I know is that Toyota wants API certification and lists two viscosities for the Yaris 1NZ-FE, here in the US: 5w-20 and 5w-30, period!

Using anything else is somebody using what they want, not what Toyota wants. My concerns are just for the 1NZ-FE in the US market.
