    Got my oil change and thought I made myself clear that I want full synthetic oil. I’ve always been getting that type of oil w/ 0W20 but this time around they put in 5W20 which can also be used. On the write up sheet I saw “00279-DRM20-01: GTMO 5W20 DR SP WTY.” I’ve spent the last few hours researching this oil and can’t figure out if it’s conventional or synthetic. This particular dealership I go to in Texas does use the Toyota genuine oil. I’m ok with 5w20 being used just as long as it’s synthetic. I’d be really pissed if they actually used conventional oil!

    I probably should have asked while I was there but I didn’t look it over til I pulled up in my driveway.

    It means Toyota Genuine Motor Oil 5w20. I’m trying to figure out if it’s conventional or synthetic.

    Pretty sure 5WXX is only made in synthetic. But I did go to public schools.
