No ACEA specsWhat certifications are called for in the Toyota manual? API SJ? Any ACEA specs listed?
The following thread is somewhat related, but not exactly:
How does Dexos 2 compare to A5/B5?
I have always heard that European oil standards (ACEA) are more rigorous than American API standards. I can see that for SN, SN plus, SP. But playing around with the lubrizol oil spec comparison tool, I thought that the dexos 2 standard came pretty close. Are there other categories, than those...bobistheoilguy.com
From a warranty perspective, I wouldn't recommend using an oil without the certification(s) called for by the manufacturer of the vehicle.
Thanks for the reply, good point I think I'll keep it for after warranty runs outThe following thread is somewhat related, but not exactly:

This picture lists the specs: SL, SM, SN, SN Plus, SP, or ILSAC GF-6A, it says that you can use any of those. If the Castrol oil you have lists any of these specs it will be fine to use, chances are that it will.No ACEA specs

Yep, saw that when I hit post and didn't take the time to edit because I thought "Maybe that guy won't be pedantic today.", given I had asked OP for the actual spec from Toyota. Which was provided. Before you took the time to be pedantic.His Toyota is 2022. You ask if it calls for API SJ of 1996?
