finally found the 5w-20 TSB...
i was wondering if anyone out there has started using the 20 weight oil, and whether any benefits have arisen?? a few others on different boards have stated decent increases in mpg. unfortunately, i've purchased enough amsoil ASL 5w-30 to last me 2 oil changes, but i'm thinking of switching to their 0w-20 on both my sienna (3MZ) and yaris (1NZ), since both their engines are clearly on the list. should be good timing since gas will probably be around 4 bucks/gallon when that time comes around...

EDIT: I know BlackYaris is running the 5W-20 water oil that TSB suggests. I make typos too.

(2 post before me....) Read the TSB where it shows/says at the bottom, "oil recommended for these engines". If Your engine code falls in the list, then I do not see a problem using the 0-20 from what I understand after reading static808 TSB.
I will look at my "code" and if it is in the list I will try the 0-20 weight on my next oil change. static808, I'm curious on the warranty part. There is nothing there. Does this mean NO WARRANTY if you use/change over to the 0-20?? Also, how did you obtain this TSB; something You found online; work for TOYOTA??? thnx., sambo42xa Southern, NH

our engine code is fall into 5w-20, but if someone else recommended 0w-20 then i guess we can use it, but as far as i see is our engine code is in 5w-20 list.

the only thing i am really don't understand that is if 5w-20 and 0w-20 is really good for our engine then why don't they listed in our manual but instead of 5w-30?

with regards to using 0w-20, instead of 5w-20, amsoil only carries an 0w-20, and they state that it is intended to replace conventional 5w-20 as well. they also mention how honda, toyota and gm are starting to recommend using 20 weight oil. its just like their series 2000 0w-30 oil; it is intended to replace 5w-30 oil also. same viscosity characteristics as the 5w's, just better cold weather start-up. an 0w designation also simply means a synthetic formula, since i cant find a conventional-dino 0w oil. its odd how this tsb actually "unofficially" has toyota endorsing synthetic oil use. i dont want to start another convetional vs synthetic debate, but i just wanted to post this thread out there for people who had heard of this tsb but actually could never find it. now we can all start getting better mpg without wondering whether using this weight oil will adversely affect our engines... hope this helps! --B
