    Pretty sure the science is clear 91 octane minimum, ethanol free is best. I saw this on the Internet.

    Where are you finding Toyota branded oil for that price? Dealers near me want double that.

    Nah, it's this fucking forum. The incessant oil/shifting/volume button and rear speaker questions could push the Jesus over the edge.

    Freeman Toyota in Santa Rosa, CA. Case of oil and 4-banger oil filter for $35.60 total, after tax. Straight from the receipt.

    Edit: That does seem like a really good deal. This was about a month ago. The dude probably gave me a bro deal and I was too clueless to notice. I feel like a jerk. :facepalm:

    Nobody is special here. Everyone is equal in praise and criticism. Maybe go to a different forum if triggered. Serious

    Uhh, so how about that genuine Toyota motor oil? I didn’t read the whole thread. Anyone comment on how they use Super Tech and it’s fine?

    Any oil that meets the published specifications is fine.

    Some products may be a bit "finer", but ultimately an engine that is well maintained & operated correctly using the specified products should give good service over an acceptable lifespan.

    Amsoil Signature, at least for the 60K change I just did and likely 70K too. Its expensive but the cost is insignificant against my annual fuel cost.

    :sorry:
    I try to stay on topic -- I always think there might be 1 or 2 readers out there who genuinely don't know. :laugh:

    Like me…

    0w20 for winter
    0w?? For hot summer driving with towing??

    O’Reilly’s offers 5qts Mobil 1 for $37.95 but is offering a $10 gift certificate with it too- is this a good deal and a good choice?

    Times change, technology changes -- people have a hard time changing...

    Modern mass market synthetic oil is much tougher than the very best oil we had in 1980.
    Put the 0W-20 in year round and let 'er rip tater chip!

    The Mobil 1 is fine, remember you need 6.2 quarts for the Tacoma though.

    I tried to buy 2 tenth of a quart from a parts place and the lady looked at me like I was crazy. :) lol
    I changed the oil in my 2019 TRD sport with 7,430 miles on it today. I don't think my engine is going to miss the 2 tenth of a quart so 6 it is.

    The dealer was supposed to have changed it 2 and 1/2 years ago as part of the 2 year free oil change. I don't think the metal cover with four bolts in it has ever been off and the filter looks as its never had a tool on it.

    It was sort of nasty but now looks nice and clean. I went with Mobil 0w20 because I bought it at a deal last year .
    If the dealer did change it I think they went with used oil. :) or maybe some gear oil lol They were supposed to have changed it at 3900 miles . I don't drive it much .

    It took me all of 15 minutes to change it and I didn't even jack it up. I am also old lol , like a Vietnam veteran old :)
    I just love these oil change topics lol
