    Not sure. Anyway, Toyota doesn’t say anything about synth vs conventional, just weights and specs.

    The word “synthetic” appears twice in my North American Owners Manual; both times relating to upholstery material.

    I repeat: "Maybe" it's the country, but my owners manual say synthetic.... But what does Toyota know?
    Maybe it's the maintainence manual? I don't care. It says synthetic oil.... argue if you want, but I won't.
