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.

Toyota
Mileage: 175000 km

Penzoil Ultra Platinum 0-W20 @3-4K and Mobile 1 Extended Performance Oil Filter. I like that Penzoil derives their oil from natural gas.
Pros: derived from natural gas
Pennzoil Ultra Platinum has some of the best cold flow characteristics so I'm not in a hurry to change it even though it's 5W-30.
Pros: best cold flow characteristics
Vehicle:
Mazda
From what I've learned the best oil for the Turbo of any model with direct injection which Mazda uses is Pennzoil Ultra Platinum.

Cons: high in detergents
Vehicle:
Mazda 3
My 2024 Toyota Rav4 Prime XSE has had 2 used oil analysis tests done at 4k and 8k miles on Pennzoil Platinum 0w-16 and Eneos 0w-16. Both results showed both oils shearing lower and out of grade to a 0w-8 viscosity at 100C in 4k miles.
Pros: oil analysis tests done
Cons: oils shearing lower
Vehicle:
Toyota
Mileage: 4000 km
I know I was using penzoil back when I had a 90 325i, locked my engine up solid, mechanic said it had too much paraffin so yeah it matters personally I only use Mobil 1 synthetics
