Rating 5.0

I buy 5 OE Toyota filters at a time from Amazon ( approximately $6 ea ) Purchase Ow-20 Idemitsu oil from NAPA ( ships free to my home ) in the cost saving 6gal box ( 24 qts ) for about $125 with their online coupon. Use this in both my Avalon and my Tundra- both run like a dream.

Pros: cars run like a dream, cost-saving
Vehicle: Toyota Avalon

My choice, based on the detailed research, is Petronas Syntium 7000dm 0w30. It has all the main characteristics that D3 engine requieres to run smooth and last long.

Pros: runs smooth, lasts long
Vehicle: Volvo XC60

This is normal. Wait till it gets below 1k rpm. Modern engines do not need a lot of time to idle after cold start, the ECU handles it. Although, for a few kilometres, do not push very hard. The engine oil (0w-20 idemitsu) is thin, and needs time to lubricate well.

Pros: thin, needs to lubricate

Switch to Idemitsu ( Japanese oil ) - Manufacturers for genuine and even does factory fill for many, they are very premium oils with starting segment already beating the top shelf of alternative brands.

Pros: premium oils, beating alternative brands
Vehicle: Toyota

You can go for [Petronas Syntium](https://www.proshop.ae/syntium-3000-5w-30-sn-1l-petronas.html) **3000 5W-30 SN**, a high-quality fully synthetic engine oil. It offers excellent protection, thermal stability, and performance, especially in hot climates like the UAE.

Pros: excellent protection, thermal stability

So if you review the virgin oil analysis database, it includes idemitsu 0w-20 and 5w-30 and for both, the TBN is rather weak in comparison to other more readily available blends, also, the viscosity at 9.5 cSt for a 30w, some 20w come close to that. Does any of that matter? Not a whole lot, but it shows that there's nothing special about the oil. Generally speaking, higher TBN is better.

Pros: nothing special about oil
Cons: TBN is rather weak
