Guideline penggunaan 0W20 dr Toyota
Starting with the 2010 Model Year, Toyota began a gradual transition to the use of synthetic 0w-20 viscosity engine oil. There are multiple benefits of this oil, including:
- Reduced friction and wear on engine surfaces
- Improved fuel economy
- Reduction in waste oil stream (in vehicles approved for 10,000 mile oil change intervals)
- Reduced maintenance cost (in vehicles approved for 10,000 mile oil change intervals)
Due to the improved performance and durability of 0w-20 synthetic oil, Toyota has extended the oil change intervals to 10,000 miles for most vehicles that require this oil. With this change, the following should be noted:
- The 2TR-FE 4-cylinder engine (4Runner and Tacoma) is an exception to this new change interval program; this engine has not been approved for the 10,000 mile interval at this time. A 5,000 mile oil change interval is still required for these vehicles.
- Only Toyota vehicles in which 0w-20 oil is mandatory (except for the 2TR-FE Engine) have been approved for extended oil change intervals.
-
Vehicles in which 0w-20 is an option to 5w-20 (or 5w-30) will continue to require 5,000 mile change intervals, even if 0w-20 oil is used.
- In the case of vehicles with 10,000 mile oil change intervals, the 5,000 mile service interval has not been eliminated. The traditional 5,000 mile maintenance procedures (such as tire rotation) will continue to be required, and the fluid levels (including engine oil) will need to be checked and adjusted at this time.
- If the vehicle operation meets the standard criteria for “Special Operating Conditions” such as: driving off-road, on dirt roads, towing a trailer, making repeated short trips under 32˚ F, or extensive idling; the engine oil must be replaced at 5,000 mile intervals, regardless of oil used.

Bold = jadi yg di buku manual-nya tidak tertulis 0W20 sebagai mandatory, penggunaan oli 0W20 hanya diizinkan sejauh 5000 mile / 8000 Km atau 6 bulan saja
Maka hal ini berlaku pada mobil2 lain juga, utk yg tahun2 muda / di buku manual diijinkan oli 5W30 / 0w30
