oil weight

[mugs]

I just got my new 2010 4runner and reading thru the owners manual a came across the engine oil recomendation. It says to use 0-20w oil. My question to all of you is what do you think about such a low viscosity.:shrug:

AFAIK it's a synthetic, and is required because of the close tolerances in the engine...
What do you think about it?

Toyota is designing for that weight in order to eek out slightly better fuel economy. People have been running 0w-20 in other Toyota engines that call for 5w-20 and they say it has been OK. The book says 0w-20, so stick with that.
