0w20 Vs 5w20 Toyota Tundra
But I stick to 0W20 simply due to cold starts.
0w20 vs 5w20 toyota tundra. 0W20 and 5W20 are winter-grade oils designed for cold weather. Joined Dec 28 2004. I agree that you should call the dealer out on it and even if the claim the repair order for the oil change states 5w30 is a mistake too bad have them change the oil out again and make dang sure they use 5w20 oil.
They allow your engine to perform at its highest efficiency and are very similar when compared. 0w will pump down to -35C. Mark888s advice is on point.
Answer 1 of 11. Personally Id switch to the 0w20 unless their is a huge price differential or you have a stash of 5w20 you need to get rid of. The 0W wont thicken up as much when it cools down as the 5W will so little better start up flow the 0W will flow a ltiile quicker.
No harm at all will take place if you use 5W instead of the recommended 0W oil. 2008 Toyota Corolla LE 5-speed. Story from Toyota T-Ten Program at School 2012 - 2014.
If you read your manual it states under high speed or load high speed not defined a higher viscocity can be used. 0W20 is much better at cold starts and is a synthetic which that in itself creates more longevity. 0W20 is fine for the winter months but in the heat of summer 5W20 will be fine.
0w-20 works just fine 5w-20 down to -20 degrees 5w-30 works good just it will. Thankfully ToyotaLexus oil specs are the same. Owner had a brand new Tundra probably with the 57l and she was a saleswoman for some oil additive company.
