Probably don't have it "in the drum" since 10W-30 is pretty standard for most cars. Too much work to go get the proper stuff from the other room.

I find it interesting that the recommend weight for a TCH is 5W20 or 0W20. The recommended weight for a Prius is 5W30. I know because it is RIGHT ON THE OIL FILL CAP. If the grease monkey (as opposed to a knowledgable service tech) can't remember what to use, it should be pretty obvious.
