    Yes its double the price of normal oils available in Pakistan just because of import duties, But as Leadfoot J. McCoalroller Mentioned

    It meets all the requirement and also it does survive double mileage than locally available oil so why not go for it

    0W20 toyota said .... "Sneeze" according to the viscosity table that comes up on a quick google can operate in the temperature range from -40 to +20 degrees

    I cringe at the thought of that nasty burnt up 0w20 clogging up my poor old egr and cat on its way out the tail pipe so the car behind me can have a laugh, I think my coolant is thicker than 0w20 lol.. I would only use that in sub zero climates personally but I'm no expert

    In Australia most people I speak to with toyota hybrids tend to feed their oil burners 5w30/10w30 or if the engine is a bit older and uses a bit of oil 10w40 is also very common
