    purpose intended for the car? Mods? Are you having any kind of problems with the oil you are using? What oil are you using? Give a little more details.

    I doubt it. The 2jz is like other piston engines and it shouldn't demand anything more special than the car next to you.
    As for viscosity, I would go with what the manufacturer recommends, which should be a 5w-30. If you want to treat your car, you can use a synthetic. Some brands that are worth noting are Pennzoil Platinum, Amsoil, and Redline.
    If you really want to get particular about oil, check out www.bobistheoilguy.com/forums - this place will teach you more than you ever wanted to know about oil/car maintenance.

    Mine's the red one.

    I always have and always will continue to use Full Synthetic oils, whether it be AMSOIL, Mobil 1 or the occasional RP.
