Oil

2011 Owners manual states; SAE 5W-20 engine oil is recommended for all operating temperatures.
The dealer/service department will use the recommended weight, but usually whatever brand their supplier is selling.
So, if you new to add a quart ??? get 5W-20 "whatever"

Thats a good question. I am going to ask the dealership next time I need a winter oil change (when its too cold and I am too lazy to do myself).
Although I buy my own oil and filter have the dealer use their nice warm service floor to put it in. I run different weight oils summer and winter. Saves me money and them having to run out and buy it because they don't always have it.
They will install whatever parts I buy, as long as I am willing to pay the labor.
They are quite a competent and accomodating bunch, and I am lucky.

I converted over to 5w-30, engine runs smoother and less oil burn off, One interesting fact, my wife has a Rav4 V6 that runs 5w20 as well, the owners manual for that one recommends switching to 5w30 in the winter/colder months. found that interesting as to if it would apply to all V6's.
Anyways, i did 5w30 and the engine runs better now, lots of others here will contended to the same.
