Okay, then let me throw this into the mix for discussion. Toyota describes their brand of oil like this; “Formulated with a special additive package that helps protect Toyota metal and gasket surfaces from corrosion, prevents foaming and maintains the proper application of oil on cylinder walls.” Does Mobil oil under its own name have the “special additive package”? How would we know? I suspect that Mobil oil and Toyota Oil are exactly the same, however, they (Toyota) want us to think they are different. Guy–I agree with you that Toyota oil, Mobil oil and any other motor oil that meets the specifications in the manual are the same.

I have a 2011 Sienna that calls for 0W-20 synthetic oil. The three oil changes that I have had done were performed at the Toyota dealer, so I have no idea whether “genuine Toyota Oil” was used. However, the sticker that the service department placed on the windshield says Valvoline.
I’m certain that the oil that is “Formulated with a special additive package that helps protect Toyota metal and gasket surfaces from corrosion, prevents foaming and maintains the proper application of oil on cylinder walls.” protects GM, Ford, Chrysler, Mazda, and Nissan engines as well. I think most dealers by the oil in bulk in big drums that meet the specifications for the engines for their vehicles and it may be Valvoline, Pennzoil, Kendall, Quaker State–whoever provides the best price. B.It’s Honda’s and Audi’s that need special lubricants to keep them alive Where you getting your information form Caddyman???Hondadoes not and never has not needed any special motor oil for it’s engines. Please show me where you’re getting your information from. Honda does require a specific tranny fluid (which other companies make)same with Powersteering fluidBut again other companies make that fluid also.
Quaker State Oil Filter Cross Reference
Every major oil company makes motor oil that is 100% compatible with ALL makes and models. I know of no oil company that doesn’t make an oil for Honda or Audi or BMW. Back to the OP’s questionMobil oil is probably the oil they use now.
I’ll bet a years salary that Toyota shops around every few years to get the best deal. Mobil may be the best deal today.
As long as you use a good quality oil that meets Toyota specs (they all do) with the same viscosity rating required for your vehiclethen you should easily get 300k miles out of the engine. I am a technician at a Toyota dealer. While we do sell quarts of “Toyota Genuine” oil, our bulk oil gets delivered by a tanker. Up until Toyota started offering pre-paid maintenance with a new car purchase, we used Pennzoil, Rice oil, Kendall, etc. Toyota had a bit of a fit and said 'Look, we’re paying your dealership for these oil changes, you are GOING to use our oil. And that was that. I highly suspect it’s like that for every Toyota dealership, not just ours.
By the way, I just pulled a quart of Toyota oil off of the shelf, and NOWHERE on it does it say Mobil. It says “Made in the US with domestic and foreign components.” The oil comes out looking VERY clean at regular intervals, unless the car was previously neglected, and the engine had a lot of deposits that needed broken up by the detergents. I use it in every car I own.
I’ll ask an instructor or my FTS, or my DPS next time I see them or next time I call Torrence, CA for tech support to see if they’ll tell me exactly who makes it.
