You probably will get many differing opinions, but since you ask, I prefer Mobil1 0w40 synthetic. But I think the more important thing to do is to increase the frequency of your oil change.

The official Toyota spec in North America for this engine is 0W20. What does your oil fill cap say?

The 0W40 synthetic is what I used in my MB.

BUT NOT IN TOYOTA OR LEXUS.

Toyota /Lexus calls for 0W20 synthetic.

No, Crisco oil is the one to use. More natural. Not synthetic! !!

what oil is called for the same engine in other countries?

As far as I can tell, 5W30 is recommended elsewhere.

The oil weights in the USA have nothing to do about what is best for your engine.

It's all about café standards and getting as much mpg as possible.

A lot of things are considered by the manufacturers. Including weight reduction

I will give you a real answer.

Penzoil Ultra Platinum 5W-30.
Pick it up up walmart for cheap.

I am not putting 0w20. don't care what the manual says.

I just noticed he is in dubai, but even then I don't see 5W-40 in the manual...plenty of other choices though!

However, go with what's readily available...if 5W-40 is avail, then I am sure it's perfectly fine.
