Used it for years in my old 4th gen 3S-GTE swap. worked great. However I do live in a very hot area so the added viscosity mixed with the higher oil temps a turbo car runs was a plus. Don't know about your particular part of the world. I know I switched back to 10-W30 in the winter months [same brand/type].
Mobile 1 rocks BTW.

Too thick... IMO The standard oils (10w40/10w30) more than cover the range for most engine's needs. Most newer engines actually call for 5w30...

I've used 20W-50 since I turbocharged the Celica.
