Engine oil OEM Toyota or RED LINE

RED LINE Engine oil

Redline is great, used it for years in a track car.

My STI also used it for a while (0w40), but then switched to Rotella.

Pros: Redline is great

On 0w16 the engine is smoother, more responsive, quieter and consuming about 0.2L to 0.5L less fuel per 100 km.

Pros: smoother, more responsive, quieter
Cons: fuel consumption

RED LINE Engine oil

In my experience of trying many different oils, what I think are the best, as far as the engine running cool and smooth shifting are: 1. Redline 15w50

Pros: engine running cool

Rating 3.0

I check the oil a couple times a month, mostly because it's leaking oil a bit and needs a top-off every thousand miles or so.

Pros: needs top-off
Cons: leaking oil
Vehicle: Toyota

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
