Any idea why they went to a slightly heavier oil? My understanding is VVTi requires or at least does better on a thinner oil, but 5w30 is the stock recommended oil for your rav yes?
Yeah on the engine it says 5w30 is stock recommended, so I don't know why they used 0w20 previously.

I read in other applications 0w20 can be used in the 2gr, or that some techs actually recommend it over 5w30.
