Quick answer: Most modern Toyota and Lexus models (Camry, Corolla, RAV4, Yaris) require 0W-20 or 0W-16. Older cars and big engines such as older Land Cruiser and Hilux usually use 5W-30 or 10W-30, and 10W-40 suits high-mileage engines. Your owner's manual or oil filler cap is always the first reference.

A general guide. The same model can vary by year and engine, so check your manual.
Why does Toyota specify thin oil like 0W-20?
Modern engines are built with very tight clearances and variable valve timing (VVT-i) that relies on oil arriving quickly. Thin oil reaches every part within seconds of start-up and lowers fuel consumption. Using a thicker oil than specified can slow oil flow and increase consumption.

Is genuine Toyota oil better than other brands?
Genuine Toyota oil matches its engines' specifications exactly at a fair price. Global brands such as AMSOIL, Mobil and Motul offer the same approvals and sometimes higher protection and longer drain intervals. Both are right as long as the viscosity and approval match your manual. Compare here: Best 5W30 oil: brand comparison.

FAQ
Can I use 5W-30 instead of 0W-20 in a new Camry?
Better not. Stick to the manual, especially while the car is under warranty.
Is Toyota 10W-40 good for summer?
It suits older engines whose manual allows it, but not modern engines that require 0W-20, even in summer.
Where do I find my car's oil viscosity?
In the specifications section of the owner's manual, or printed on the oil filler cap on many Toyota models.
