Toyota Oil

[Silber Igel]

The Toy store told me that the 5W-20 'blend' they installed in my HyCam is made by Mobil. True? Or, not?

If its a Mobil product, the only one that matches is the 5W-20 7500 blend. However, the guys at the Toy store said that the Toyota product contains a 'special additive package.' How different could that be from the 7500 blender?

Any thoughts, Gents?

It's Mobil-made. Probably pretty darn close to 7500 5W-20. Unlikely to have a vastly different add-pack.

Honda FF, however, appears to be LOADED with moly.....

Maybe, maybe it's the assembly lube. But the oil at the "Honda Store" [or in another dialect the stealership] doesn't have the moly we pine over.

FWIW, from 5 to 10k I used Mobil 1 5W-20 full synthetic. The new oil put in less than a week ago ... and its probably my brain working overtime.... makes the engine seem noisier. Weird...

All Toyota/Lexus branded oil is made exclusively by XOM. My brother worked for them for 2 summers (engineer)

Thanks Steve! Apparently, the 'Conoco Connection' at the Toy store has gone south and now its operated by the dealership using Toy branded products. I was looking forward to going Conoco/Phillips66/Union 76/Kendall/Motorcraft this oil change. Bummed a bit. But it was free!

Sure seems noisy though.... the Sienna running MC blender 5w30 is quite as a church mouse....
