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......
I'd say he was bsing you what does your manual or the filler cap say for oil weight?That what would be going in my truck.
