Toyota does not make oil. So first mistake is to call it OEM oil. There is a spec on this oil ...... if you use the specified oil and that is not a brand BTW, loads of technical funny talk ...if you match or exceed that spec Toyota has no leg to stand on if there is a engine failure.

Toyota uses a fleet oil and I would not touch that crap with a pole. The same oil is used across various platforms ...... your 86 wasn't designed to spec ...it was built down to a price point.
