The 5w20 is said to be synthetic but up till now not the 5w30.Assuming we still have a 5w30 weight recommendation.I like the heavier 5w30.
Toyota regular oil is a Exxon-Mobil product.Probably now Mobil 1 which on the bob is the oil guy forum is said to work well with Toyota engines.

The current vsicosity specification is 5W30. I have been using Mobil One 5W30 since day one and there is still dieseling when cold to this date / 32,000 miles, changng the oil every three - four months / 5,000 miles (changed by time except for 1 time when miles exceeded the time). Are they now recommending 5W20 synthetic oil (as used / specified viscosity in our '07 Hemi Jeep Grand Cherokee)? Jeep is adamant in using
5W20 oil versus 5W30 oil in the Hemi engines.

I'm not a fan of Mobil 1.I like Amsoil and/or German Castrol.I have read that mobil 1 works well with Toyota engines,though.
I would stay with the 5w30 over a 5w20.Just feel better with a bit thicker oil rather than maybe get a tenth or two better MPG number.
I still can find anything on 2010 ES having synthetic oil factory fill that Dave's shop foreman mentioned.

Re. my 2010 ES - I have to say that I believe the car is noticeably quieter than my 20007. I thought at first it might just be new car quietness but after about 500 miles I do think the car is much quieter. I would say that without any fanfare Lexus has added some insulation. Maybe the smaller mirorrs help a little.
And the turn signal switch feel is more LS like then my 2007 - very solid and quiet.

Picked up new Satin Cashmere with Black Interior on Monday. Great colors especially with the glass rood and upgraded leather and double stitiching.
