What is the OEM recommended oil weights for the Lex/Toy V8's around the world?
Is it the same?
In the US most all from 2006-up are 0W20 or 5W20. Before that was 5W30. But say in Australia, or Europe, or ? Is it the same oil weight recommendation?
I have a 1UZ-FE in my 98 GS400 and just switched to 5W20 (the internet has something that looks official that Lexus "backspec'd" the oil weights to 5W20 if not 0W20. But no one knows the validity of it and my friend at Lexus cannot confirm it, nor find anything that recommends other than the OEM 5W20 recommendation originally released.
Just wondering!
