More likely you are just retarded and didn't grasp the fact that the state had to chip in $8B and the rest came from deferring pension pay and raising fees on everything else they could.

The "vote blue no matter who" mindset will wreck that notion. Why Memphis put a loony white male in vs a conservative black woman.

I have a non-hybrid Rav4, excellent for all the normal day to day stuff.

but the gm 6.2 problems were definitely the fault of 0w20 oil.
They did the same mistake Ford did with the 3V 5.4L Tritons, slapped stuff that required oil pressure (read: extra oil flow) to operate onto an existing architecture without upgrading everything to support it. Any engine can run a thinner oil spec, you can even get 0W-70 for a race engine, but it better have an oil pump with the volume AND pressure setup required. Ford and GM got that wrong with either using an older model oil pump or using a variable output pump that wasn't set correctly. In both cases, you could run 5W- or 10W-30 oil and run a shorter OCI but the core issue is still there.
Every OEM, for decades now, as said their oil choices and OCI recommendations provide "adequate" engine protection. I've always taken that as well enough to get past the warranty period.

Thing about AP is they aren't the level of sales volume that Omega occupies. They don't exactly have a problem sellling every watch they make either and they get plenty of free advertising with rappers.

I certainly don't understand why AP would consider such a collaboration. Reminds me of when Mont Blanc pens were in the display cases of Sam's Club and Office Depot, just seems like a good way to dilute a luxury brand.

This has been the case in most engines produced in histor
That's why the first few oil changes need to be very short to help flush that stuff out plus the particles from the initial breaking in of the engine.
I don't think it's as much a thin oil thing as much as it is a production problem. There's enough data out there now that shows, with proper OCI's and oil, the thin oils produce wear results that are just as good or better as more conventional viscosities. Saw a tear down of one of these Toyota engines and the main bearing caps are marked for the bearings each should get for proper clearance and the values were pretty wide. Definitely not something you'd expect in any modern OEM engine much less Toyota.

If you openly had a gun in your hand, made any threat, and got shot by either a civilian or LEO that is an open and shut DGU all day.

A thicker oil can remedy the problem.
As with Ford and GM, that's putting a bandaid on problem, not a fix. My Rav4 takes 0W-16, I use Idemitsu IFG-5 0W-16 with a 5K mile OCI and Toyota oil filter.
