Toyota recommends only 5w30 as outlined in manual page 329. end quote. Thats enough for I have always used genuine Toyota 5w30 since new and will continue. Engine have lasted forever on dino oil with proper maintenence. Synthetic is not worth extra cost. and your engine can not stay clean with 10000 mi oil changes..

Toyota released a TSB last year stating 5w20 is OK to use in the 1NZFE engine.
