I agree... but API certs say all & nothing... just as ISO spec... anyway in my experience also on newer engines a balanced & of course good oil (for ex a 5w30/40) can't break anything
here (italy) on extremely efficient 1NR-FE (almost identical to 1NZ-FE) many plp take out the toyota oil & put instead the bardahl one (5w30)... toyota genuine oil is just a "name" to sell "their" oil at doubled price ;) I don't take care about warranty, I'm just waiting to pass 1000km (about 600miles?) to make that change too :) ps: of course I'm speaking about stock engines
