Yes, its more (but not that much) than Mobil 1 0w-20

Reasons:

True Group V oil
Longer between oil changes
Better protection
Better MPG, well somewhat

Mobil 1 0w-20 for my Tacoma and wife's Sienna

Dixie,

Make sure you put in a good filter too friend. Especially if you are planning 5K+ between changes. I'm a fan of Micro Guard, but there are others that are good as well. Fram and K&N are not worth a flip in my educated but personal opinion.

May I ask what year your daughter's RX is and how many miles on it. The reason I'm asking is that I asked my dealer about switching to 0W20 from 5W30 on my 05 RX with 177K km or 110k miles and I was told that it was not a good idea due to mileage on vehicle.
