Oil brand

You guys who are doing your own oil service are you going with Toyota brand oil or are you using another brand? TIA

 

Mobil1 5w30 here

 

That’s what I’ve used in my past vehicles.

 

Mobil 1 0w-20

luckily it’s the same as the Tacoma

 

Mobil 1 or Valvoline Synthetic, 5W30 here. Although you cannot go wrong with any of the synthetic oils available.

 

Whatever is on sale. Doesn’t make a bit of difference.

 

I have been using Valvoline extended synthetic the last 2 changes other wise I buy Toyota oil. All the synthetic oils are good, just keep it changed.

 

I was running Toyota when it was the cheapest 0W-20 available in my area. Nowadays Motomaster synthetic (Shell) from Crappy Tire is my usual grab when it’s on sale. No issues and can’t beat the price.

 

Valvoline last oil change. I think before that it had Mobil 1 in it. Just bought Toyota brand for this change.

 

Kirkland full synthetic

 

Valvoline Synthetic

Any of the name brand synthetics, including Super Tech or Kirkland, are fine though. I have been using the Valvoline lately for two reasons: 1) $5 rebate from Valvoline per 5 quart jug, & 2) the Valvoline 5 quart jug design allows for smooth pouring. No mess, and no funnel required.

 

High Performance Lubricants 5w30 in the Tundra

 

Amsoil 0w-20

 

I like "high mileage" oils in the 5-30 flavor, always full synthetics. But I vary on brand, just for kicks. Was a big Castrol fan fan continuously for 30 yrs then started trying others like Mobil 1 Extended High mileage, though I can't make myself wait any longer than 5K OCIs, haha. I am sure Valvoline, Pennzoil and probably even Wally World (full synth high mileage) is very satisfactory.

What I have noticed, is my local wally world has had a very poor selection of name brand oils for the last 6 months or so, wonder what's up with that? Anyone else?

Oh I did see of all places, Lowes sells motor oil, at a decent, not great but decent prices unlike say autozone that want to gouge us...

 

Pennzoil Ultra Platinum 0w-20.

 

I did a couple free services with the dealership but didn't like not knowing exactly what oil is going in my supercharged motor. I then bought the metal cap housing and a Motivx kit. Now I change the oil every 5k and the TRD filter cartridge every 10k by myself and use the Mobile 1 0w20 full synthetic. It's pricey but I put 6-8k miles a year and I like knowing everything is fresh and optimal even if it technically is a little overkill. I did the 5k interval with my Land cruiser and got 446k miles with no engine issues, so that's proof enough that good fresh oil goes a long way.

 

Ok, my eyebrow moved! I’ll check it out, thanks

 

Been using Kirkland since new. Every 5k miles, did not take the free changes from Toyota, too many horror stories from dealers…

 

I use Amsoil in my 2005 Tundra.
Oil lasts 25k miles and filter is 15k. No problems ever.

 

Mobil 1 because the best bang is with their 12qt box. Seems to go out of stock often, so I buy two at a go.

 

Mobile 1 5W30.

Then I've got some Valvoline 5W30 I'll use.

Then I've got some Kirkland 5W30 I'll use.

 

Walmart brand 0w-20

 

This or Kirkland (Costco) 5w-30

I use either in my Tundra and Stinger

$30 Pennzoil Ultra Platinum Full Synthetic 5W-30 Motor Oil, 5 Quart

https://www.amazon.com/Pennzoil-550...6423&pd_rd_wg=WYNj1&ref_=pd_gw_ci_mcx_mi&th=1

 

Have you seen the price of Walmart brand oil? I laughed at 27.00 for a 5qt Supertech.

 

Pennzoil full syn 0-40.
Almost forgot, I add Ceratec (one can) every change.
Oil checks out super clean and no usage loss every time checked.

 

Look into to who actually makes it!
