Oil for new truck (17' Tacmoa) UPDATE

[OptOut]

After some forum surfing, MSDS sheets, and VOA's I've narrowed my list on the oil that will replace the factory fill
Castrol Edge Extended Performance (Gold Bottle) (I'm partial to Castrol)
M1 Extended Performance (Seen good reports about it, "million mile engine")
M1 Super Synthetic (heard that it has high PAO content, unconfirmed)
Castrol Magnatec (high capillary tension will be useful with NH winters)
Pros, cons, and more information on the oils will be much appreciated
Note: filter will most likely be a Fram Ultra (cartridge style)
The truck's first OCI will be done in approx 7300 miles

Check if there's a rebate on the Castrol or M1 website, then get either the Castrol or M1 EP oil you listed based on that. You will never have an oil related issue using any of the oils you listed, and using the rebates you can probably get the synthetic for less than the cost of the non-synthetics, so why not go with it.


Just did a quick search, there's a M1 rebate until May: https://mobiloil.com/en/promotion/mobil-promotions/up-to-15-dollars-off-with-mobil-1-and-mobil-super

Will you ever see a million miles on the vehicle? What made you choose the 7300 mile first oil change? What about the rest of the fluids? Marketing seems to be working.

The recommended OCI is 10k on TGMO synthetic. I'm dumping the factory fill at 7500, have 200ish on the odometer now.
I don't start worrying about other fluids till 50k

If you're serious about the million miles, install an ATF filter like magnefine now and replace the ATF early.

Are the Magnefines proven to work? I have thought about adding one to my Tacoma but I'm also quite good about doing a small drain/fill of the ATF each year.

Magnefines are really expensive For a tiny filter. Toyotasusuallylastm along longtime with only proper maintenance. Clean oil is happy oil.

Why not continue to use TGMO if you want a great winter oil?
