...and just like that, a post on motor oil turns into a tool thread.

What oci. no point in getting ep if you wont take it far.

Check if Autozone in your area has any of that clearance 5W20 Mobil Full Syn left for $2/qt,

Based on the price and rebates they are running right now and the higher moly, I am going to go with Valvoline EP.

Thanks for your input everyone!

Also, as an FYI, the one local dealership stated they are running bulk Mobil1 right now for their changes.

You're welcome. Glad you found your oil. Tell me, what's the big deal with Moly?

Doubt it. Most people are not familiar with the various tiers. They are probably using the new Mobil full synthetic. Local honda dealer has been doing the same.

QS.

I knew a girl in high school named Molly that was HOT!! She was a senior and I was a freshman

Being that's it's (only) the 2nd oil change, I'd use the cheapest synthetic listed (QSUD) and change it out sooner because of 'break in' stuff.

Getting ready to do my second oil change, called two local dealerships and both are out of GTMO 0W-20.

Between the following, which would you use?
Mobil1 0W-20 Extended Performance
Valvoline 0W-20 Extended Protection
Quaker State Ultimate Durability 0W-20
Eneos 0W-20 (Can get a 6 gallon case down at the NAPER)

Mobil I EP but it is hard to find right now in 0-20.

Not a bad choice in the bunch. Probably the QS but just because it's cheaper.

Correct me if I am wrong, but I was told that TGMO was just repackaged M1 EP.

Somebody will correct one of us, I'm sure. It's my understanding that 0W-20 TGMO is made by Mobil, and is similar to M1, but the additive package is different, with the TGMO containing quite a bit more Moly amongst other differences. These may not be the latest iterations of the oils.

Nope, not at all, it's a special blend made specifically for Toyota by the division that blends HDEO and other commercial lubricants, it's not a midSAPS oil like EP, and the add package is much different and TGMO is mostly group III, EP for 0W-20 is mostly PAO.

First OCI was ~1100 miles to get all the wear in metals out and there was definitely silt like debris in the filter.

TGMO been called that for ages.

Kind of funny because if you pull the part numbers from Toyota its Genuine Toyota Motor Oil (GTMO).

I believe the two use the acronyms interchangeably.
