Trying to stick to Toyota spec but want a 5W30 grade.What does having an oil with more moly do?
Thanks!Eneos Sustina 5W-30 Mo 84
Idemnitsu Fully Synthetic 5W-30 Mo 67
Why did you think those 2 specific oils would have more?Thanks!
I thought they would be higher as the Toyota is around 700 and the redline 500
So if I want the old school one that Toyota uses which brand do you recommend with the same high content of 700ppm?There are different forms of molybdenum. You cannot just go by ppm numbers.

I sure wish Toyota just made a 5W30 synthetic in the US.
Seen the VOA's postedWhy did you think those 2 specific oils would have more?
Or HPL.If you really want a high moly oil then go to a Mazda dealer or shop online for the Mazda Moly oil, also made by Idemitsu. It is pricey though.
You linked Toyota and Redline.Seen the VOA's posted

Idemitsu and Eneos are the closest Japanese and previous OEMYou linked Toyota and Redline.
I'm asking about Eneos and Idemitsu, the two you referenced in the thread title.
Yup. GF6/SP changed quite a bit in relative terms from the oils of yesteryear. They got Kendall to take out titanium out of their GT-1 Max. /squintMany of these reports are old and may have changed with the recent reformulating to GF6/SP. So moly counts may not be accurate until we see newer analysis reports.

What is the “Toyota spec” you’re trying to stick to?Trying to stick to Toyota spec but want a 5W30 grade.
Toyota oil has high moly and helps with the engine specific noise.
That’s what I didn’t understand was Magnatec and Edge still have Ti so why did Kendall remove it completely. Buncha crap.I noticed that. Valvoline was using titanium as well. I don’t know if we have seen a recent report on them?
Toyota genuine oil, the one from the manufacturer. They only sell 0W-20 synthetic in the US but have 5W30 overseas.What is the “Toyota spec” you’re trying to stick to?
