    Should start a poll. Would be cool to see the results.

    Personally I only use two oil and one is a backup if I can't source the first.

    Liqui-Moly
    Mobil 1

    I dont use Oil additives but if I did:
    Liqui-Moly CeraTec

    queue the oil thread fire.

    Mobil 1 is not good enough for a Tacoma because it has 4LO. That’s what I learned on the forum this week

    There isn’t one.

    But typically, the one the manufacturers recommend is “best ”.

    Never been a failure based on brand as long as the oil meets specs. They are all good...or bad.

    Supertech full synthetic. I change it every year or 5000 miles, whichever is sooner.

    You're overthinking it; use a high quality synthetic oil, changed on a timely basis, and your engine will most likely outlast the rest of your vehicle. The brand matters not; aftermarket additives matter not, the lack of aftermarket additives matter not.
