Engine oil Castrol or OEM Toyota

Castrol Engine oil

Have been using Motul 5w30, But I recently switched to Castrol edge 5w30 as it's easier to get quickly and has always ran well in all of my turbo direct injection cars.

Pros: ran well, easy to get

Castrol Engine oil

I personally have used the RN17FE 0W-20 (Renault branded Castrol GTX bottles) for 10k km after the innitial oil that was filled in the factory (I don’t know which one was filled in factory). I haven’t noticed any better fuel economy but that can be tough to determine because I drove the car mainly through the winter and did more shorter trips than the original factory first fill oil that I drove with during spring and summer.

Cons: no better fuel economy
Mileage: 10000 km

OEM Toyota Engine oil

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.

Pros: null
Cons: wrong oil, spilled oil, bad alignment
Mileage: 5000 km
