Oil Change 0W20.....Really?
Oil Change 0W20.....Really?
Getting ready for the first oil change of our new to us 2010 Vibe. Says 0W20 on the filler cap. Is that for real? I think the owners manual says 0W20 also. Seems awful thin.

That is correct 0W20 if you can find it or 5W20.

I use SuperTech 5W30 full synthetic in the wife's 2008.
With SuperTech filter.
My last Blackstone test came back perfect.
Extending change intervals to 7,500 miles as compared to 5,000.
Current mileage is about 83,000.

I've been running 0w20 for the last 100000kms or so... in all weather from -40Fto 120F...
The cheapest place to get a good synth 0w20 is your local Toyota dealer.

I've been using Penzoil 5W-20 on both our 2009 GTs since new. We've always had excellent luck with Penzoil in all our previous vehicles.
