    That viscosity chart has been posted here before, maybe not in Japanese. I have a similar chart in my Owner's Manual, although it is simpler and scaled down.
    Perhaps these recommendations are for a guarantee period. I know that in Germany conveyor oil filling is viscosity 5W-30 and a lot of Japanese use viscosity 5W-30 on milage 10 000 km.

    In the future all cars will be electric with sealed motors, and the Mirage forum will still be arguing about oil viscosity. And Scotty Kilmer! On the bright side, so little goes wrong with these cars that we have to post about minutia.

    As for me, engines are created by marketologists but not by engineers:-) Now it is the century of marketologists:-)

    Quite right.

    We have such a proverb among the Russian drivers:

    "If you lost the way in the dense forest, start asking loudly which oil should be poured into the engine. There will be a lot of guides near you"
