for toyotas with 5x30 engines has toyota back spec

[edwardh1]

has toyota back spec'd any 0-x oils? do 0-30 oils exist? or is that only a cold weather thing?

Yes, they have back specced my Sienna (originally 5w30) to both 5w20 and 0w20. I can post/paste the chart that shows what year/make has what recommendation if you want.

I'd like to see the chart paulri. Thank you in advance.

Why would any one feel the need to back spec the oil to 0W-20?

OK Satin here it is:

I can't answer your question, but I can guarantee you that when I saw that Toyota had said I can run 0w20 in my van, it sure made it easier to pour in the m1HM 5w20 that I did this morning (my first fill with a 20 weight in the van).

Toyota didn't sell the non-turbo Supra in Canada, so it's comical that they want you to use 5w20 in a 2JZ-GTE

With respect to that chart have look at what Toyota said here.

Good info!

I think engines that are in excellent condition can run a good 0W-20 with no issues.

Toyota told me to run a synthetic 5w30 (PP or VV or M1) in my engine. Next choice is the Toyota house brand.
