Not at all; and considering some of the issues Toyota has had over the years with their oiling systems, I'm not surprised either........ At least when they went from a 5W-30 to a 5W-20 for the 4.6L in 2010, at least they admitted it was for fuel economy reasons and recommended changing it (if it is a full synthetic) at least every 5K miles. God only knows why they would want you to use a 0W-5.........
