Engine oil Mobil or OEM Toyota
I use Mobil1 full synthetic 0w-20 advance fuel economy oil. As long as you get oil that meets the manufactures's spec, you will be fine.
From the 21 Camry owners manual: “SAE 0W-16 is the best choice for good fuel economy and good starting in cold weather. If SAE 0W-16 is not available, 0W-20 oil may be used. However, it must be replaced with 0W-16 at the next oil change.”
I recommend using Mobil1 engine oil. It contains additives that extend your engine life. I’ve done a teardown of a Skyactiv engine that used Mobil1 and one that used Pennzoil. The Mobil1 engine looked a lot better than the Pennzoil one. I use it in my parents’ CX-9, no problems at all.
I own a 2019 N and have used mobile 1 synthetic 0W-30, subs i bought it. this will be my 5th oil change as i change mine every 8000 miles. So far no problems.
I used mobile 1 for the rav 4. Factory fill on the evo was mobile 1
i used the original oil (0w20) but here in mexico is a little expensive. change the oil to mobil 10w30 full synthetic and works great on my fit 2010.
In all seriousness, Mobil 1 5w-30. Ran it for 70k in my '14 and so far 54k in my '18; zero problems.
Mobil 1 extended performance 5w30
Owner's Manual recommends 5W40; but says that any oil that meets the VW 502.00 specification is fine. I've used that Mobil1 European Car Formula 0W40 since our two 2009 Mk5's (Jetta and GLI) were new, with no problems. Specifically zero oil use between changes.
Yes, you can certainly use 506.01 in your TDI and it's used in many TDIs around the world. However, based upon some of the UOAs offered up, I'd suggest moving to 507.00. The 506.01 has shown relatively high wear metals.
