    I've run Euro Castrol, Motul, Brotella, and Liquid Moly in my N54 BMW over the years. It's all the same shit.

    Any oil that meets the Toyota-spec will be fine.

    Use what is recommended in the owner's manual? Get out of here with that crazy talk.

    Our 1980's Volvo 740 Intercooled Turbo, 2.3L, went over 250,000 miles if I recall correctly, before it got in an accident. No engine problems. Lower stressed with less boost than today's engines, but it was also 40 years old technology. Any new vehicle is going to have some issues, but not overly concerned about the turbo. The pricing is terrible though, and it's not only Toyota. Keeping an eye on how much Tundra's will go under MSRP, driving down the used prices too, then will decide which truck to get and leaning towards a nice low mileage V8 Tundra. I am on a list at a dealer for a 2024 Tacoma, but if one comes up tomorrow, I'll pass.

    I'm glad they dont use 0W16 or 0W8 or we'd have thousands of oil threads.

    It's a turbo engine but not a performance turbo engine. Any 0W20 API SN oil will do. All 0W20 is synthetic.
