*For trucks that call for XW-20. It won't break anything, but I wouldn't recommend XW-20 in something that wants 5W-30. You could have lower than ideal oil pressure in the heat.
But if I don't tow and the weathers not too hot, I could go with 1 quart of 5W-20 and rest 5w-30 right? A little lower on the higher weight is ok for my use it seems?
Recommended, no. But it won't really hurt anything. People have done worse.
A common tactic is to research the recommended viscosity charts from overseas owners manuals, for a given engine. Quite often a 0w-20 US spec is 5w-30 in, say, Argentina or Spain.
I run 0w-20 in a 5th gen 4runner cold months, and 4 qts 0w-20 plus 2.2 qts 5w-30. The blend rates out to roughly a 2w-24 (for a rough number, viscosity is more technical than that). Not a huge difference obviously, but if you have the heavier oil to use up, or find a decent deal on that weight, as I have previously.
The 5th gen 4runner in the US specs 0w-20 period amd only. In Puerto Rico, 0w-20 to 15w-40. In Australia, up to 20w-50. In the manual charts. The identical engine.

I think I am ok since I dont tow and weather doesn't get hot in SF.
The other countries have different temperatures/humidity levels that affects the same engine differently than here in the states I assume?

US climate in places matches PR and Aus, and Spain and Argentina. It's EPA and CAFE mandates which have made 0w-20, and now 0w-16, so widespread.

Glad someone else understands this. Someone has tribology knowledge or has been on BITOG for a while.
BITOG banned alum here. Awesome site for knowledge, but some of their moderation staff is quite the snowflake sort.
