Reviews of OEM Toyota engine oil

I change mine every 5k irregardless of whatever Toyota says. Oil changes are cheap insurance to your engine if you intend to keep it for the long term.

Toyota OEM oil has 10x the amount of thr dry lubrication additive molybdenum in its additive package. The dealerships use bulk Mobil 1 oil when they do your oil change. This is why everyone should change their own oil.

Mijn prius uit 2005 krijgt niks anders. Ik rijd er al mee van 220k tot nu 397k. Still going strong!

2000s Toyotas. Not really unreliable, but oil burning was an issue on most of these because people did not change the oil on time.

Use toyota 0/16. Or Mobil 1 0/16. Liqui moly is also very good.

Fun fact, on a gen 4 Toyota Camry (1997-2001) with the 5S-FE 2.2-liter four cylinder, the low oil light doesn’t even come on until you’re like 2.5 quarts low!

2004 Toyota Avensis

Thing just guzzles oil. I believe the model I had was manufactured in England.

Had to top up the oil every 3000kms

Brought it in for 5k ToyotaCare at the dealership I bought it from. Used wrong engine oil (at least they listed wrong on the service sheet but promised they did use 0w20) - GRC is only model where 5k or 6 month oil changes are standard. 2500 miles if driven hard. Fucked up the trans oil I asked them to change - used wrong oil type. Fucked up tcase and rear diff oils. Found oil spilled on some pieces of the subframe. Of the 2 test drives they did doing the warranty covered alignment they had 10+ drive pulse hard acceleration /braking/cornering alerts on both 4 mile drives. I changed the engine oil, trans, tacsee, rear diff, cleaned oil they spilt after picking it back up. They said they'd corrected their errors only after I got Toyota corporate involved. I didn't trust them to do anything so corrected all myself.

My 2014 had 226K changed it at toyota every 10K no issues

I used Toyota OEM oil twice and was disappointed by the way it changed color at less than 5,000 kms. Two different mechanics asked me if I had delayed the oil change. Since then I started using Synthetic 0W-20 and never had any complaints.
