Toyota to start Requiring 0W-20 Synthetic Oil in Newer Models

Toyota to Begin Requiring 0W-20 Synthetic Motor Oil

Driven by increasingly stringent emission and fuel economy standards, Toyota has informed its dealers that the company will begin requiring SAE 0W-20 synthetic motor oils in new Toyota, Scion and Lexus vehicles over the next several years. Other OEMs are expected to follow suit by 2011. Among the benefits cited by Toyota are enhanced protection at high and low temperatures, improved fuel economy and reduced engine deposits. In addition, Toyota is reportedly studying increasing oil drain interval recommendations to 10,000 miles.
AMSOIL 0W-20 Synthetic Motor Oil (ASM) is the superior choice among 0W-20 motor oils on the market, offering maximum power, performance and fuel economy and extended drain intervals of 25,000 miles or one year, whichever comes first.
