Mobil1 5w-30 or Fuchs GT1 0w-20

[toyota62]

Hi Guys.
Currently My 2012 RAV4 2.4L engine filled up with fuchs GT1 0w-20 engine oil.Thinking to switch to Mobil1 5w-30.The reason i have to buy two 4L jugs to do an oil change.(4.3L with oil filter.)
Fuchs GT1 0w-20 only comes in 4L jugs.(You can find 1L bottles but very old stock.)
Mobil1 5w-30 comes in 5L jugs and one jug will do the trick.
Fuchs GT1 0w-20 4L jug A$89
Mobil1 5w-30 5L jug A$80.
I am happy with fuchs GT1 0w-20 performance Fuel economy and acceleration.I think Mobil1 5w-30 is very close competitor to fuchs GT1 0w-20.

The RAV4 2.4L does not "need" a very expensive oil like Fuchs. You are throwing money away IMO. I would use M1 or cheaper. How long are your OCI's?

Still under new car warranty so 6months/10000kms.

And M1 5-30 is one of the best oils there is for engine longivity and keeping engines clean.

Even Mobil 1 is a bit of an overkill for 6 month / 10k OCI. You could use Mobil Super 5w30 $40/5L

Are you talking miles or Ks? If miles I would stick with M1.

Kilometres.

Is Mobil 1 0W-20 available in Australia? I'd use that. Or, is Toyota's 0W-20 available for a reasonable price at the dealership?

No M1 0w20 officially sold here. I'd say its very unlikly Toyota would have 0w20 here either.

Toyota And Subaru carry 0w-20 grade engine oil and you can buy from the dealers.
Toyota 0w-20 A$50 for a 4L jug.

Wow, 0w20 for $50! That's TGMO full synthetic?

I have a receipt from 18 months ago, $40 for 10w30 TGMO
