I've been putting in Castrol Full Sythnetic 5W30 in my 2.8VR6 for 13 years and I've been told the engine is in great condition (264,000 km).
I run Castrol 5w40 in all my VWs. 2.0, 1,8T, and my mk7 2.0T all have used it and I've been happy with it.
Personally I buy exactly the factory oil, from a manafacturer that factory put in, in German cars it's Castrol, French are Total and Elf, Italians use Petronas Selenia.
I found a dealership that sells the Toyota oem at 5.90 a quart so that’s what I use. It’s made by Mobil 1 but has certain additives added specifically for Toyota specifications that regular Mobil 1 doesn’t have. Technically it’s what the 4Runner will run best with.
Toyota synthetic. I was going to do Mobile 1 but noticed a few claims of people using both saying it shifted a little more smoothly with the Toyota oil
My r53 loves Castrol 5w40 and Mann/Mahle filters.
Castrol Edge, I have used it forever in both my vehicles and I 10/10 reccomend it.
I used Castrol magnatec 5w30 Fully synthetic every 6-7k Miles.
I used Castrol edge 5w40 euro car when I had my car.
Former BMW dealer employees have confirmed that the overpriced BMW oil is literally castrol edge.
