    Started seeing this stuff pop up at the local Walmart. Did some research on it and Toyota and Nissan have been using this in Japan for quite sometime (oil spec not brand)20191028_075251.jpg

    I would imagine its for better fuel economy. Id be nervous to put it in anything that takes any sort of towing abuse

    My wife's 2019 RAV4 uses that oil same as the new Camry...Extremely thin oil, when they replaced the oil at 10K still had viscosity but it was really dirty, I'm gonna start changing it at 5k from now on.

    Being that we are 0-20, there wouldn't be any gain going to 0-16.

    Maybe this is for those that live in the upper arctic. 16w is just plain silly
