Do you think they are saying that it must be replaced with 0w20 to keep the "for good fuel economy and good starting in cold weather" status that's stated prior? Or that it must be replaced regardless?
The Japanese owners manual for the 2nd gen BRZ lists 0w30 as an acceptable choice.
Translation:
1: The amount of engine oil is a guideline when replacing. To check the oil level, place the car on a level surface, stop the engine before starting the engine or after warming up the engine, and wait at least 5 minutes before checking the oil level with a level gauge. To check the oil level, look at both sides of the level gauge and check the lower side of the oil level.
2: ECO 0W-20 is the most fuel-saving oil among the designated brands in the table above. |
Ya the terms "recommended" and "must" do not fit well together at all.
