Dear Thomas.
I own a Toyota Hilux 1999, 2.4L, 4cyl, all original.
According information here in this page, the Oil type for this pickup is 5W30 (for this motor) .
What happen if I go to live in Phoenix, where the climate have higher temperatures?. Should I change to 5W50?
Hello, Leonardo.
No, 5W50 would be a mistake.
Your option is 5W-30 and it is perfectly fine for any temperature in case of your engine.
