I don't think you should be running such thin oil in such an old engine. Toyota's TSB EG018-06 recommends 5W-20W in certain '06 engines, and 0W-20W only in the '06 and newer 2AZ-FE engine used in the Camry, Solara, Highlander, and RAV-4. It specifically says not to run those thinner oils in older engines.
