No! Corporate is busy doing finances i.e. $
many years ago I knew a guy in a Toyota dealership (one of the worst local dealers in my area) he said
most the time they only have synthetic blend 5Wx30 because they run out of 5Wx20 VERY quickly and they don't order much! He wasn't a oil guy but said don't worry either one will be fine in any car. lol
It didn't bitog "blew up" customer's engines so he was right!
I am sure (hoping) not all dealers are like that. This dealer was really bad. I already knew they were crooks long before he told me this.I
Edit:
They run out of 5Wx20 quickly ...
I don't recall him talking about 0Wx20 at all.
I was complaining that twice i had asked for 10Wx30 and both times I got 5wx30 ... and he told me the above story.
