Got a '14 Rav 4 with 100k miles and been using nothing my Mobile 1 0w20. Been thinking about changing brands. Heard some good stuff by Quaker State. Can anyone concur?

    For the US the recommend 0W-20. In Japan, they allow up to a 10W-30, for Southeast Asia and Australia/Middle East, up to a 20W-50.

    0W-20 is a fuel economy grade. It works fine for Honda - they invented it and engineered for it. Right now, Mopar and GM are having lifter issues on V8s with DoD and 0W-20.

      Because GM and Mopar are shit in comparison. The lifter issues are nothing new, been a problem since 2016+ when the 5.3L first started recommending 0W20, yet they keep cranking out the same underengineered garbage. Unless you need a 2500 series pickup, those brands should be avoided.
