I use PUP 0w20 in mine. Lots of tests and UOA show that Pennzoil Ultra Platinum is the best non-boutique oil you can buy. But honestly any top shelf oil will work. 5k km intervals are more important than brand with a turbo engine.
Pros: best non-boutique oil
Vehicle:
Toyota
Mileage: 5000 km
Do her a favor a change the oil, with Valvoline Restore and Protect or Pennzoil Ultra platinum, it will quite down a little and it would be great for the car.
Pros: great for the car
Cons: requires oil change

At the very least, make sure you're using quality oil like Mobil or Castrol or Pennzoil.

Frankly, we ran 0W20 for the first 175k miles in our 2017 RAV4. I changed to 5W30 because my Turbocharged Mazda also calls for 5W30.

Vehicle:
Toyota
Mileage: 175000 km
