    I need help to choose right viscosity of engine oil 2011 toyota corolla

    it says in the cap 0w20? use it. your engine can take some other oil types but it wont perform as with the tested and recommended oil type. do not experiment, if you're not a mechanic. :) or is it because these ones you mentioned are $ to 3$ cheaper?
