    I have my 2006 that's already a oil burner. When using 5w-30, it burns about 1 qt every 1000. When using 0w-20.....I've used 1 qt going to vegas, which is a 270 mile drive. But keep in mind, I already have a damaged engine.

    Toyota says 0w-20 is ok for gen2.

    So far, I must be lucky.

    Nearly 200K miles, not burning oil and traction pack decent (not great or failing.)
