Have you considered using the factory fill oil - Genuine Toyota Motor Oil. This oil is formulated by Toyota for Toyota engines. Available in 1 quart bottles at the Parts Dept. of Toyota Dealers for
around $1.50 - $2.00 a quart.
Toyota doesn't actively advertize it's oil or make big sensational claims for it so it doesn't sound state of the art and therefore it doesn't grab the public's attention and thus the public generally isn't interested in it.
Then again Toyota doesn't make big sensational claims about the reliability and durability of its cars either even though it's cars are the best in the world in these respects.
around $1.50 - $2.00 a quart.

Plus since I work in design you do not have a oil company make oil for you (special application). It is too costly & cuts into your bottom line. You select the oil "off the shelf" and then design. You do not do it the other way around. Look online and you will see it [Toyota oil] is 99.999% Mobil Drive Clean oil.
Also if it "was" to Toyota specifications they would print the Toyota Spec on the bottle to make people buy it for the extra $$$$. It is nothing short of some API or SAE spec's to pass it.

I been using mobil 1 sine I got my RX in 04 and in my GS since 02 with Mobil 1 every 5000 miles. Now I am going to switch both to the 15,000 mile mobil 1 this way I can go little more then 5000 miles. I don't think I will go more then 7,000 miles but for the extra 3 dollars why not! There is only pros there are no cons except paying a little more.

This is not synthetic oil!!.....Mobil 5000 is the name of their new conventional oil. I'm interested in the conventional oil vs. the synthetic one.

Mobil 7.5K is a blend
Mobil 15K is a PAO based oil.
Based on price and the "5K mile" deal I say the 5000 has a low addditive base oil.
Here is the virgin oil tests:
Mobil Clean 5000 5W30
Aluminum 1
Iron 1
Moly 64
Boron 44
Silicon 1
Sodium 218
Calcium 829
Magnesium 4
Phosphorous 341
Zinc 347
Vis @ 200 F 59.1
Flashpoint 425
All other values were zero.
Comments from Blackstone on this VOA:
"Well I'll be. We are shocked that Mobil has added sodium to this new oil they're producing, but there it is. We ran this sample twice to make sure it was there. Also look at the low levels of zinc dithiophosphate. We ran some Pennzoil last week that had low levels of zinc and phosphorus like this. We had the guy send in another sample so we could check and the levels were indeed that low. We assumed that Pennzoil had a bad batch to go out, but here it is in Mobil too. Is this a trend with the oil companies now?"
The pros are maybe it is cheap. Cons are my ES with Amsoil has better number with over 12K on the used oil.

I think someone should give those guys free oil changes and coolant using the other guys preferred fluids with full warranty and service for life.
