If you live where the temps get cold and you use a 20/50 you might experience problems with your starter clutch like I did last year. When you press the start button and the starter begins to turn the engine then it slips and spins free. I switched to a lower weight and the starter clutch catches all the time now. Just something to watch for, not all FJs have this issue. Knowledge for your mental tool box.

So Monkey , are you just gonna keep putting thinner oil in your engine until you finally have to split the cases and fix it? I believe Singer sewing machine oil is your last chance.  :rofl2:
