I don't know about your problem. I changed mine to Redline MT-90 at 1K miles and never had any problems on road or track in temps below freezing to track days in summer desert heat.

One suggestion though. Good techs are such prima donnas that it will be in your interest to arrive with a clean car inside and out to impress them that you care about your car and expect them to as well.
I was charged for diagnostics with Extra Care. I called Toyota to verify that was correct and they confirmed.

You could put yourself on the hook for a bill depending on the end result
