    If you run your oil through a strainer and a magnet, you can reuse it. This tip will solve the looming energy shortage problem.

    I guess if we just ran Toyota’s tranny fluid in the engine, we’d never have to change it again. They could eliminate the dipstick too!

    Neighbor lady has a new Avalon, also requires
    $52 0w20 oil Toyota/ exxon mobil Case of 6 Quarts Full Synthetic TGMO SN 0W-20 Oil
    0w20 oil. Dealership hasn't been able to get oil in several months. I assume that's whatever oil Toyota dealerships are required to use. I went to local Fleet Farm, Costco, Walmart, and auto parts stores- all have 0w20 available. I prefer to stick with a major name brand like Mobil. Sure I can save a couple bucks, but why chance it? I found Fleet Farm had Mobil synthetic and it was on sale, ended up being less than Costco.
