I'm a Amsoil dealer since 1989. When Toyota started making engines that needed 0w20 it wasn't long after us dealers got a bulletin for long drain usage on Amsoil filters. From the time I became a dealer till then I'd never heard of a problem. Still don't know what this problem is. But on long drain consists of 100% synthetic signature series oil (not full synthetic/ I have no idea what full synthetic oil is but hear the term) and Amsoil synthetic fiber filters/ea and eao. The bulletin said to change those filters only on Toyota at mfg. suggested intervals. Long drain you run filter 6 months or 12,000 put on new filter and top off with oil and finish the 12,000 miles or 6 more months. That's annual oil changes. I have 3 customers and myself that do this and been doing this since 1996. None of us have had any problems.
So it may be a problem with oil flow in their engines and Amsoil may have been called in on a claim.
The guy I sell to that does long drain, he and his wife ea. have a Toyota car that uses 0w20. I passed the bulletin along to him and he just changes more filters but still runs the oil for 12 months. I have a Honda Fit that uses 0W20 also. Got about 30,000 on it now and never added oil. Just replaced what's needed for filter change.
Most oil related problems now days comes from lack of oil. Whether it's flow or to low on the stick. Lots of good oils out there today and some are better than others that make them exceptional.

Today's Featured Article - Third Brush Generators - by Chris Pratt. While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
