I agree, the 0W-20 seems awfully light weight for a, in my case a 5.7 lter Tundra V8. However, the 5.7 Toyota V8’s are very reliable, unlike the V6 dual turbo engine that replaced it.

I won't buy any vehicle with a turbo especially 4 bangers. I'll buy a 20 year old vehicle with a 100,000 miles on it first.

Bought a 2023 V6 Toyota Tacoma 4WD with 12,000 miles. Cost more than 2025 Tacoma 4WD with the turbo 4 cylinder. 2023 was the last year Toyota put the V6 in the Tacoma
