How did that happen?It doesn’t matter what oil you use. Our 3.5L Toyota 2019 blew two engines in the first year. One engine with TGMO FF and one with PP. if it’s defective it will blow no matter what. If it’s not it will last with any oil that meets minimum specs.
How did that happen?
Perhaps you've answered your own question.I really like the Castrol "Edge" oils (https://bit.ly/2ZBMN4p) and I've used the "Edge" oils for some time now in my vehicles.
Is the Castrol Edge product worth considering for my new truck?

Poor quality. It threw a rod bearing at 2,700 miles. They put in a new short block. Then it started leaking oil so they did a gasket kit. The HG blew around 5k miles. I. The first year it was on engine number 3 fuel pump number three. The speedometer quit working and the fuel door had gotten stuck closed. So when the HG blew we were out of town and the local dealer refused us warranty because they said our warranty was tied to the dealer that did the engine swap and we would have to pay out of pocket. Less than 1 year old and about 5k miles it was fixed by Toyota under warranty and another dealer denied warranty repair because of it. Called Toyota corporate and they confirmed that was their policy. Our first and last Toyota will never buy another one. No reason to make a trip and ownership more stressful when it’s still under the bumper to bumper warranty.How did that happen?
I was sitting at a red light and the car started shaking and the check engine light started flashing. I used PP it’s entire life and never went the recommended 10k mile oic. It was replaced under warranty.3 Blown Engines This year
So this weekend our 2015 Pentastar ate the camshaft at 72k miles. This is our 3rd major engine failure this year. I change the oil before the 10k miles recommendation. I follow maintenance and breaking in procedures by the book and yet here we are. I use Full Synthetic Oil. My Charger has had...bobistheoilguy.com
**** man that sucks. Toyota has awesome reliability. You should of played the lottery. I’ve had awesome luck, knock on wood with Toyota’s. I miss my old 3.4L but the 4.0L is just as good.Poor quality. It threw a rod bearing at 2,700 miles. They put in a new short block. Then it started leaking oil so they did a gasket kit.

Yeah we traded in a 2011 Dodge Durango with 172k miles on it for something that has blown engines before oil changes are due.**** man that sucks. Toyota has awesome reliability.

You got a bad Toyota? Wow, what are the odds?Poor quality. It threw a rod bearing at 2,700 miles. They put in a new short block. . . .
Sour grapes. Does it really matter how they got to be #1. What are you driving, some FCA rat trap?I guess Toyota put all of their “reliability” efforts into the engine and not their frames.
Edit: And DEFINITELY not into door lock actuators or their terrible Delphi sourced HVAC components. Then again it’s easy to be “reliable” when it comes to tech when your solution is to simply not install any...
