Default Re: Oil filled from the Factory?
Guys, i read the entire thread, and unfortunately i didn't see any posts compared to what my dealer told me. I was told that the 07's were released from the factory with 5W30. Toyota used 5W20 during testing and MPG tests to get the highest MPG number possible for advertising/goverment ratings. Furthermore, he told me that Toyota recommended 5W30 because it provides up to 30% more engine protestion that 5W20 (speaking of dino only). Was this dude BSing me or what? He has always been very straight forward and dependable......
