And some more info from one of the co-founder's of Millers N. American distributor in this discussion (user 67King): http://www.bobistheoilguy.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=2727400]

Although, I would probably stick with 0W-20 with such a robust oil unless you have bearing clearances that spec a 30 grade. I don't see what you would gain from running a 0W-30 if you have stock internals. You're already getting PAO/Ester base stocks and higher levels of anti-wear additives and friction modifiers than found in typical SN/GF5 oils. Same goes for any race oil.
Thanks, I'm friends with Harry the co-founder of Performance Racing Oils and he has hooked me up with some of their gear oil and racing brake fluid that's already in my car.

I'm still not sure if I'll go with the 0w20 or 0w30 since the BRZ manual states that it's okay to move up to 0w30 if you're running in harsh conditions.
