Are you -F-ing kidding me !!!! I just called my dealer to see how much the 0W-20 oil is, and when he said $7.25 / quart I almost shit myself. Does anyone know if Mobil-1(or any other brand) 0w-20 can be used?
other synthetics can be used but to be honest they are about the same price if not even more. walmart sells the 0w20 gallon of mobil 1 for a little bit cheaper. mobil 1 is about 10-12 bucks a qt.Are you -F-ing kidding me !!!!

compared to many oil's...yes, it does have a lot of moly, from what they say toyota oil is compared to much higher profile oil's such as redline..I bought 2 qt couple month ago at my local dealer, 6 bucks a qt...
as soon as I'm out of free oil changes I'm going back to my old friend Valvoline Synpower 0-20 and Mobil 1 if I can't find Valvoline.
toyotaforman, do you know if toyota 0-20 contains more moly then other oils?
do you know if it is truth?
well yes, but valvoline/mobil cost $21-23 for 5 qt jar at walmart.but you can pick up a gallon of redline 0w20 for about 40 bucks which is wellllll worth it for the price compared to valvoline or mobil1
27 bucks for me locally, actually figured it would be more then that...just wish i could find it.well yes, but valvoline/mobil cost $21-23 for 5 qt jar at walmart.
twice cheapper...
incredibly cheap, that's cheaper then my price. at that price i'd start shipping it out considering with coupon that's practically dealer cost.I just paid $5.00 per quart at dealer for Toyota 0W-20, plus I had a 10% off parts coupon, so really only $4.50. The most I have paid at a dealer is $5.50 per quart, which is still cheaper than Mobil 1 0W-20 at Walmart.
i'll trust what an oil analysis will tell me and those trained in the business.Verlaryder, your white collar definition is exactly what Toyota would like you to believe.

:lol: Not to mention when they get into a heated battle over oil filters, specially one certain brand.There are 100's of outfits that do oil analysis. No need to use Blackstone Labs especially given Blackstone's affliation with Bobistheoilguy - a forum owned and run by a bunch of specialty lube, additive and filter salesmen. Those dirty old men seduce young men into thinking they need more than plain oils and filter to maintain their cars; e.g. they need $25 a bottle additives like Auto-Rx for both the engine and transmission, Fuel Power gas additive, by pass oil filter systems and lots, lots more gimmicky products.
never felt any pressure from them to push me into buying any products. They provided analysis with what seemed unbiased commentary that didn't mention anything that I would have to do other than to try and go more miles on oils to see of they will still hold up.There are 100's of outfits that do oil analysis.
