5W-30 ok?? GX460 (1 Viewer)

[sleepycruiser]

Looking to change the oil for the first time since ownership. Has anyone moved to 5W-30? I know a lot of the Land Cruiser 200 guys go from OW-20 to 5W-30.

Anyone here do that? Moderate climate in NC. 2011 GX460

Yeah itll be fine. I will probably do the same.

General thought is the 20w is CAFE oil, as other countries seem to say 5w30 from what I gather.

Especially in a warmer area, as the 0w only lowers the cold viscosity a little.

I'm also in NC and have changed to 5W30 the last few oil changes. I'm using the high mileage synthetic from Costco and change every 5k.
Haven't noticed any difference and no, my engine hasn't exploded yet
